I didn’t attend #reinvent this year…..and yet I was remembered in a very special way there 💜 . I received an award for my engagement in the #AWS #Community and Linda Mohamed and Thembile Martis shared this sweet video with me to let me know that my work and passion for driving inclusion within the community is being appreciated within Amazon Web Services (AWS). Thank you Linda and Thembile for taking the extra time at re:invent and share this message with me 💜 . I am incredibly proud and honoured to receive this award, which highlights my active involvement and dedication to the AWS Women's User Group Berlin. I can’t say what a special feeling it is being thought of and honoured at re:invent - a place full of so much inspiration and incredible talents, a place where I meet friends, inspirational colleagues and allies who share both my passion and work in making cloud computing more diverse and accessible. I would like to thank everyone who supported me on my way - my wonderful team of the AWS Women's User Group Berlin Galina Atamankina, Ruth Otero, Jessica Walker, Li-Ya Wang, the Berlin AWS User Group Kadir Keles and Aaron Walker, my colleagues from demicon who support my community engagement - with a particular thank you to Rico Nuguid, the Förderverein AWS Community DACH - with special thanks to Linda Mohamed, Nora Schöner, Thorsten Höger, Markus Ostertag, Dmytro Hlotenko and many more, and all the wonderful inspirational friends from AWS and the AWS community María Encinar, Thembile Martis, Susan Lopez, Suzana Melo Moraes, Shubhangi Soni, Meyyar Palaniappan , Annariina Komljenovic, Monica Colangelo, Anahit Pogosova, and many more. I appreciate you all. Thank you for your support. 🙏 #awswugberlin #community #diversityandinclusion #aws Video Credits: Big thanks to Linda Mohamed for capturing this and Ruth Otero for the editing this video 🙏

3dVery well-deserved nomination, Sana. Thank you for the mentions and for being such an inspiring and remarkable woman. 🥰 I remember when we virtually connected, I was still living in New Zealand, and since then, even far from you, I have enjoyed your support and encouragement. ✨ Moving countries and restarting is hard, but you and Linda have made it lighter, and meeting you in person just confirmed what I virtually knew: it is a privilege to have you as a friend! We need to thank you for all you do for our community and women in tech. Let's build much more, dear friend! ❤️☁️🚀
