The latest Issue of In the k-NoW is Here!

We are delighted to announce the release of the 13th issue of In the k-NoW — Q2/26, the quarterly publication of the CTU Network of Women (CTU-NoW), celebrating the achievements, leadership and impact of women shaping the Caribbean’s digital future.

Gracing the cover of this issue is the truly inspiring Senator Alicia Lalite-Ettienne, who made history as the first legally blind Senator to serve in the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago. Her remarkable journey is one of courage, resilience, purpose and breaking barriers, a powerful reminder that inclusion is not simply an aspiration, but an essential foundation for meaningful progress.

Through her story and the many voices and perspectives featured throughout this edition, we continue our mission to celebrate women, strengthen their contributions and inspire the next generation of Caribbean women and girls in ICT.

We invite you to explore the Q2/26 edition of In the k-NoW and be inspired.

Enjoy!
