In this episode I talk about the feelings of discouragement and disillusionment that many of you may be experiencing in your tech careers.

Understanding that the journey is rarely straightforward; it’s filled with twists and turns that can leave you feeling lost.

I’ll explore how to shift your perspective by reflecting on your achievements and recognizing that success is not just about the destination but also about the journey itself.

It's okay to feel disillusioned, but it's crucial to keep moving forward.

This episode is a call to action: feel your emotions, but don’t let them define you. Tap into your inner strength, seek out mentors, and connect with others who have navigated similar paths.

Join me for insights that inspire hope and connection.

In this episode, I sit down with Shondalyn Smith, an inspiring Black Woman in Tech with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a Master's in Cybersecurity.

Shondalyn’s passion for technology sparked in her pre-teen years, thanks to a peer role model, and her journey since has been nothing short of awe-inspiring. Coming from humble beginnings, Shondalyn leveraged hard work, dedication, and a strategic mindset to seize every opportunity that came her way.

Our conversation dives deep into the importance of investing in yourself, navigating big career decisions, continuous learning, certifications, and finding your unique path as a technologist.

Shondalyn candidly shares her wisdom on how she’s built a fulfilling and financially rewarding career while staying true to her passions. Straightforward, driven, and relatable, she offers invaluable advice for anyone looking to make their mark in tech.
I left this conversation with a deep admiration for her, and I think you will too!
