Ann Kilzer is a coding engineer based in Tokyo who co-founded the SpeakHer website which helps promote women speakers to conferences, seminars and events across Japan. The SpeakHer platform helps to tackle gender-bias and overuse of the manels (male-dominated) speaking panels.

Ann has pursued a variety of traditional Japanese arts such as calligraphy, nihonga painting and traditional dye techniques. We also discuss our common love for Wagashi vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free traditional sweets which she had the chance to make.
