“Unexpected Inspiration” Day 3 of our orientation was beyond my wildest expectations! Tech4Dev has truly outdone themselves, and I'm here to share the incredible journey we've embarked on. We were fortunate to have some remarkable guest speakers who not only inspired us but also pushed us to dream bigger and reach higher. Mrs. Adaora Ikenza set an exceptionally high bar with her impactful goodwill message, packing 6 hours of wisdom into just 10 minutes. Her words set the tone for the day, encouraging us to embrace the mindset of champions. Let's not forget the dynamic Joke Akintara, a product lead at Fanbants, who radiated confidence and knowledge. Her talk on Impostor Syndrome and its impact on personal and professional growth was an eye-opener. I walked away with valuable insights, including the powerful messages that "Sharing isn't boosting," "Teaching is a weapon," and "Timidity makes you an underachiever." The presence of accomplished alumni from the class of '23, who happened to be wives, mothers, and pregnant women, was truly inspiring. They shared their challenges, coping strategies, and unyielding resilience in pursuing their goals. One of the program's major highlights was the session on handling sexual harassment and gender-based violence, led by Elizabeth Williams, Executive Director of Sustainable Impacts and Development Initiative, and Dorothy Njemanze, Executive Director of the Dorothy Njemanze Foundation. This session was an eye-opener and a testament to the importance of addressing these critical issues. I want to extend heartfelt gratitude to Tech4Dev and Microsoft for providing us with this incredible opportunity to learn from these brilliant minds and empowering us to become women in tech. Together, we're shaping a brighter future. #WTFC24 #WomenTechstersFellowship #WomenTechsters #AfricanWomanInTechnology #WTFC24Orientation #Tech4Dev #WomenInTech #Empowerment #Inspiration #TechCommunity
