In response to the comments, she launched #ILookLikeanEngineer on Twitter to show the world that, despite stereotypes, engineers can also look like her.

“My stories have become such a source of inspiration for so many people. I am now developing a team to build out www.ilooklikeanengineer.com, a safe platform for us all to continue to share our stories and experiences relating to diversity issues in tech,” wrote Wenger in the blog Coffeelicious.
