When I started working in marketing, I came in with the most general and common questions: who are the target personas? what is the customer journey? where is this audience? what campaigns can I create in order to attract this target audience? Though after being in marketing for a couple of years, growing my circles with so many marketing folks- I have come to realize that there are 2 parts of marketing that nobody talks about, teaches, but everyone has to keep in mind. Many products quickly fail because they lack these two big elements: awareness and accessibility. We need to start also asking ourselves “is this campaign accessible”, “is this campaign tone deaf?”, …
With little to no connections to being a marketer at many startups, how I did it and what I’ve learned so far.
Before I start I want to put a disclaimer: I am not there yet. I am still building myself but something that I realized is that there are SO MANY of us that are struggling to find a path into this advanced tech world.

No I didn’t want to take chicken curry and roti for lunch. I wanted a sandwich with pudding and a juice box because thats what all the other kids had. First daughter, first child in the family to grow up in the United States, and this was probably the first sign of me wanting to be the typical American.
Growing up my parents made a rule that when I was at home I would have to speak hindi, I would eat indian food and watch indian movies. This was to make sure I had an Indian structure before I stepped out of the house everyday. Though, whenever I walked out, I wanted to be like the other kids. …

Many are embarrassed to admit the sadness and disappointment in discovering that their baby is a girl. For some it’s because a girl can never be an equivalent to a boy, to others it’s because they are scared to bring another girl into this wretched world. If a couple misses the window to abort their daughter, they will raise her with disappointment, try again for a son, or give her up for adoption.
