I hope to literally change the world with Black Girls Code by changing the paradigm which produces the current monolithic ecosystem in technology.

Girls are almost always socialized to be perfect: 'Smile, do well in school, don't take too many risks.'

I loved school, was an exceptional student, and found a passion for math and science that led me to Vanderbilt University, where I discovered the world of electrical engineering. I did well in college, loved the work I was doing, and soon found myself climbing the corporate ladder after graduation. I was one of the lucky ones.
