I love the idea of empowering and encouraging everyone to go into tech. As someone who never finished a degree yet still enjoys a career in tech - it is never too late or too early to start learning about how you can acquire those skills and get there. My father as well has had a long career in tech and his degree was in Civil Engineering - nothing to do with computers! You belong in tech!

When I was first trying to break into product from a non-technical background it was really hard to find similar people - I mainly used my network and LinkedIn. LOVE LOVE LOVE that there's now a centralized place to read about people and get inspired by everyone's story.

Love this idea of showcasing stories of professionals and learning about their own journeys to land their roles in their respective industries! Congrats on the launch Helen and Sefunmi!

This is exactly the kind of book I would've loved to have when first thinking about being in Tech as a teen. I'm excited to share this with some of the folks I know trying to break into the industry.

@aaronoleary Yeah! We plan to showcase and highlight other critical roles in tech as well, beyond just engineering and product. When you're outside of the industry you just don't really know what you don't know (regarding opportunities). 😅 Thanks for your support! 💛
