We chat about the culture in both tech and surfing, stereotypes, the challenges Maddie faced as someone who identifies as a plus-size female, and how she strived to embrace her own style and identity. Maddie's story emphasizes the importance of finding a supportive community, standing up for yourself, embracing your idiosyncrasies and working hard.
