February 25: Women in Tech Weekly Issue 47
Another Tuesday, another dose of inspiration ? As always, we have some amazing stories from truly wonderful women, as well as highly useful resources for anyone interested in tech, however, this time I wanted to share something else as well…
I had the unpleasant experience of someone trying to hack me. It is terrible, and it could happen to anyone, so I wanted to share the story of what happened and hopefully help you protect yourself. Stay safe out there while you’re leaving your mark.
If you have a story to share that you think could help or motivate others, or you just want to spread the joy of your accomplishments, make sure to check out the submission form below, and I’ll see you next Tuesday ?
Featured Woman ??
Shylia Yvonne
Shylia is such a beautiful soul and an absolute badass! Her transition into tech started around 3-4 years ago through a Snapchat program and since then she has become a role model for many of us. She is breaking stereotypes, combining tech with arts and showing us how to have a good time while having a big open heart.
