The road less traveled can be very scary, Naya and I had a candid conversation about the challenges of working in tech when you don't embody the traditional route or look. It's interesting how imposter syndrome manifests itself in tiny instances like asking for help, especially when you are surrounded by people that don't look like you the layers of self-gatekeeping tend to get in the way, and on a positive note seeing people like you becomes a great motivation to do more or better when you work in Tech.
Naya is a Tech content creator and goes by The Black Female Engineer. If you are looking to learn more about working in tech, some lifestyle, and fun, you can find out more about her here.
