When I connected with an OWASP Foundation Chapter (and the OWASP Foundation to a limited extent), I was personally attacked by former Foundation employees. At an Appsec Conference in Washington D.C., I was followed by people and attacked on a personal front again from (former) OWASP Foundation employees. At a non-OWASP event in Sparta, New Jersey, a woman approached me, invoked OWASP and made a remark about my person. A former volunteer harassed, lied and deceived me. The consistent pattern of harm to this Asian American woman makes me concerned about the level of professionalism of this nonprofit. I am also concerned about other women of color getting personally attacked, bullied and deceived by volunteers and/or members like I was. I hope no other Women of Color endure/suffer the harm that I have because they connected with OWASP.
