In 2016 I got the opportunity to speak in front of a small group of highschoolers who were part of the Girls Who Code group at Ingraham High School. Though we were interrupted by a power outage, I did my best to talk through my (always expanding) ideas about the point and power of data visualization.

Thanks very much to Erin Shellman for the invite!
