ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Being part of many communities such as Black Girls In Tech, Black Valley, Code First Girls, Tech Newbies and Coding Black Females; I use the opportunity to give back and I share my journey through blog writing, tips in the industry and through sharing books and Ted Talks that help with a positive mindset. Such as Atomic Habits, How to lose your mind and re-create one, How to reach your most ambitious goals Ted Talk. I believe that it is vital to have the right mindset to be able to navigate through the tech industry, especially as a woman of colour and to inspire women to reach their goals.
