Remember that your path is your OWN. No one is going to care more than YOU. No one is going to work harder for it than YOU.

#TechTwitter How many of us know we can develop a feature that solves so many of #Twitter 's problems? Wouldn't it be great if companies could give you an isolated env to build that feature and implement it? I wrote about how we are creating tool to make that possible. WWY build?

Trauma is wild because you'll go through something and then think about it for the rest of your life
This quote lives in my head for free: "The Black Tax is about hedging against hidden obstacles. Working twice as hard for the same recognition earned by non-Black folks."

What's your story for a time you failed and became better? What was your greatest failure? How badly did you screw up? What did you learn from it? How have you grown? Let them know that mistakes are something you bounce back from and become even better for.

You are your actions. Not your thoughts. Imposter syndrome is a bitch and it will rear its ugly-ass head into your thoughts every time you enjoy a win you deserved. Especially one you fought tooth and nail for. Focus on doing something rather than thinking. It'll pass soon enough

Let's abolish the line of thinking that your career path has to be linear. It doesn't. I know plenty of amazing people who started out in jobs they hated or had little relevance to their passion. Bide your time, learn, and explore new things. Most of all trust your process.
Happy I finally got out of the Grind culture 😭 #NoDaysOff was beating the soul out me.

I am bringing back my Cybersecurity mentorship program next year God willing. I will mentor and guide 30 people interested in starting a career in Cybersecurity. I will support them till they get their first job.
This time last year I met the person who gave me my break into tech. Shoutout Evan Williams! Forever my guy! #BlackTechTwitter #Believe #100Devs
