If I could whisper a poem to every Black girl navigating tech, what would I say?

For you, Black Tech Baddie ✨ You are not alone. The determination and curiosity, I see you. You are not alone. Lost sleep and time with family for deciphering and debugging code. You are not alone. The tears you shed when spaces don’t get you. You are not alone. The fight for even just one small opportunity.  You are not alone.  Being forced to do things you don’t want to for money to fund the dream.  You are not alone.  In code-switching You are not alone.  In silence.  You. Are. Not. Alone. I see you; I feel you; I am not in competition with you.  We are not alone.  We do not need to force things.  We are not alone. We are strong AND vulnerable.  We are not alone and we got this, Tech Baddie. If you enjoyed these words, consider tipping and/or purchasing my book from Amazon https://a.co/d/2R86yJc
