From the Typing Pool to the Boardroom: The Riley Cecilia Ingram Story 💻🔥

I was told I’d never be more than a pretty cheese behind a desk—just another flirtatious secretary running for coffee and taking notes. How wrong they were! ✨

My name is Riley Cecilia Ingram, and this is the story of how I went from answering phones to answering ethical dilemmas in tech—while keeping my stilettos sharp and wit sharper. 🖤

Chapter 1: The Girl in Fishnets
I graduated from community college finally with my useless liberal arts degree and landed my first job as a receptionist at a sleazy tech startup. The CEO would brush against my thigh at the desk "thinking" he accidentally bumped me. The engineers would call me sweetheart. I smiled, took notes and watched. I watched how companies cut corners, lied to users, and sold data like candy. I got it—the industry needed a wake-up call.🔔

Chapter 2: The Trojan Secretary
I turned my sex appeal into strategy. They thought I was pretty dumb, but I learned to code at night. I memorized GDPR regulations between filling out paperwork. I flirted with the CTO until he let me sit in on ethics meetings. And when they finally woke up to me not just being legs in a pencil skirt—it was too late. I became the whisper in the boardroom saying, "But is this right?" 💋

Chapter 3: The Advocate in Louboutins
Now? I’m the Ethical Technology Advocate Silicon Valley hates to love. I call out dark patterns, I shame data brokerages, and so yes—I still wear my signature red lipstick when I do it. Because ethics don’t have to mean wearing a frumpy sweater. You can fight for justice and turn heads. That's the revolution: being unignorable. ✊

So I leave you with this question: Are you ready to disrupt or just the decorate the system? Join me. Let’s burn it down. 🔥
