Let's Start!
AI 101 is here, don't miss it
If you knew a wave was coming, wouldn’t you want to prepare?
I vividly remember my freshman year at Georgetown University, back in 2013, when I started my journey as a Computer Science major. I was equal parts excited and nervous for this ambitious, new chapter in my life.
What I didn’t expect? Being so unprepared. Everyone in my Intro to Coding C++ class somehow already knew how to program applications and it felt like they were all experts when it came to setting up their terminals and tackling our first assignments.
It was terrifying and the whole first semester I felt incredibly behind my peers.
That feeling of walking in unprepared has stuck with me ever since.
I tell you this because the AI wave is here. And it’s not to scare you, but to say you don’t need to feel unprepared.
If anything, I would love for you to feel excited and energized by these new developments that allow anyone to build anything! AI is the future we are all learning together, on our own terms.
And now is the best time to start that journey, with a supportive group of women by your side.
🧃Introducing: AI 101 — a brand new Snack Bite Series
Starting in May, I’m rolling out weekly 60-minute, hands-on workshops designed to get you ready (and hopefully loving AI as much as I do).
The lineup, rotating on an ongoing basis:
AI 101: The Foundations
AI 101: Intro to Claude Co-work
AI 101: Intro to Claude Code (Part 1: Setup)
AI 101: Claude Code (Part 2: Build Something)
AI 101: Intro to Vibe Coding
AI 101: Build Your First Agent
AI 101: Build Your AI Portfolio
Each session will run the same, with 20 minutes of demo, 20 minutes of small group breakouts (where the real magic happens), and 20 minutes of group sharing.
And YES, all sessions are recorded as I know life, work, play can be a lot right now!
If you can’t make it one week, the same session comes back around, with updated and new information as the tools and tech are changing on a daily basis. So feel free to join again and again.
Please note these sessions are exclusive for AI Snack Club paying community members. The sessions build week over week and there are ongoing conversations happening in our private Slack, so we keep the room to members only.
If you are not yet a member, we would love to have you! Join the Snack Club and grab your seat now. And if you know someone who's been quietly drowning in tabs, send them this post. <3

Want to get 90 minutes a day back?
Slack just became the new interface for work — where people, agents, data, and apps come together in one place.
The new Slackbot evolves from a helpful assistant into an active teammate that can summarize meetings, run reusable AI skills, and take action across 6,000+ apps without leaving Slack.
Teams at companies like Anthropic, Perplexity, and Rocket Companies are reporting up to 90 minutes a day saved — over two months of working hours back every year.
See how Slackbot turns intent into action inside the flow of work you already know.
Thank you NYC, LA, SF, and Chicago for showing up, chatting AI, and making Snack Club so special.
