Take advantage of any mentorship programs that are available.
Hey there!
First and foremost I just want to say what an honor it is to have the opportunity to write you and share my words of encouragement as you embark on your journey. The Tech field is one of the fastest growing fields in the world with endless opportunities. It is also a field black women are drastically under represented. As a minority myself in a field where our representation has grown, but still under represented, I know the road blocks you have gone through or may go through. My advice to you is stay the path, be strong, and know the value you can bring to your chosen field is limitless. Also know this isn’t a journey you have to take alone. Take advantage of any mentorship programs that are available and leverage people who have been through and succeeded navigating the same path you are navigating now. Please know you are the future and it is bright! Again, thanks for the opportunity and I hope these words have helped in some way.
