Here’s a throwback clip of me on IG live briefly giving advice to first-time coders. 👩🏽‍💻

I love seeing the challenge because it’s filled with so many people sharing information, tips, and resources.

Learning to code doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. Connect with your peers on this platform and stay motivated.

Here’s a throwback clip of me on IG live briefly answering a question about being a minority in STEM. 👩🏽‍💻

It’s no secret that minorities are underrepresented in high tech places. Regardless of the countless times, we have proven to be exceptional in the industry.

𝐒𝐨, 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡?

It’s simple, hire more minorities. And let us make executive decisions.

Racism and gender bias are very common in STEM. However, we are moving into a time where it’s more common to call out the discriminatory behavior.

Side note: Always is a strong word, so I wouldn’t necessarily say that it has ALWAYS happened but it has definitely occurred multiple times throughout my career. 💜
