Lend your voices and support actions that drive more participation of girls in STEM and Tech! #Nsonye #GirlsinICT #STEMEducation

Exposing the Myths Holding You Back From Embracing the Thriving Tech Universe! The tech industry is a vast and ever-evolving ecosystem, yet it's often shaded in myths that can hold us back from fully embracing its potential. From beliefs about who can succeed in tech to misconceptions about the nature of tech careers, it's time to debunk these myths and open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. ❌ Myth: Tech jobs are only for coders and programmers. ✅ Truth: The tech industry offers a wide range of roles beyond coding, including UX/UI design, product management, cybersecurity, data analysis, digital marketing, and more. ❌ Myth: You need a degree in computer science to work in tech. ✅ Truth: While a computer science degree can be beneficial, many tech professionals enter the industry through self-learning, bootcamps, online courses, and practical experience. ❌ Myth: Tech companies only hire young employees. ✅ Truth: Tech companies value diversity and experience, and many employees join the industry at various stages of their careers, including mid-career transitions and returning professionals. ❌ Myth: Remote work is not common in the tech industry. ✅ Truth: The tech industry has embraced remote work, especially with advancements in communication tools and collaboration platforms, offering flexible work arrangements to employees. ❌ Myth: Tech salaries are only high in Silicon Valley. ✅ Truth: Tech salaries can be competitive worldwide, with many tech hubs outside Silicon Valley offering attractive compensation packages and career growth opportunities. ❌ Myth: Tech is a male-dominated industry with limited opportunities for women. ✅ Truth: The tech industry is actively working to promote diversity and inclusion, with initiatives focused on supporting women, minorities, and underrepresented groups in tech roles and Nsonye Women in Tech Community is one of the female tech communities that aim to bridge the gender gap in the tech industry. ❌ Myth: Tech companies only focus on profit and don't prioritize social impact. ✅ Truth: Many tech companies are committed to social responsibility, sustainability, and philanthropy, integrating ethical practices and community engagement into their business models. ❌ Myth: Tech startups always succeed quickly or fail completely. ✅ Truth: The tech startup landscape is diverse, with some startups experiencing rapid growth, while others may evolve gradually, pivot, or merge with other companies. Remember, knowledge is power. By debunking myths and embracing truths, we empower ourselves to navigate the tech universe with clarity, confidence, and a sense of possibility.

Last Saturday was truly remarkable as Nsonye Women in Tech Community, a thriving community that supports women in tech, invited me to moderate the panel discussion at the close-knit #IWD Mixer. The energy was high as I led the discussion and involved our amazing panellists in a thought-provoking discussion that revealed deep revelations and shed light on the distinct career paths each of them had carved out. Each gave an insight into the struggles they've faced and the victories they've enjoyed along the way as they discussed their individual journeys. I had on the panel; Wamide Animashaun (Ecosystem and Partnerships Director at Propel), Victory Brown (a researcher, community builder, strategist, and designer) and Kikelomo Owoyale (Chief Executive Officer/Founder at SheFoundry Ltd) The discussion focused on bridging the gender gap in tech and other industries, emphasizing inclusivity and securing equal representation. The event itself was a testament to the power of simplicity and impact. Amidst the casual setting, meaningful conversations ignited, leaving a lasting impression on the women that attended the event. Thank you so much for the invitation Joyce Nwanochi (Founder & Team Lead), NSONYE As I reflect on this experience, I am filled with gratitude for the opportunity to facilitate such enriching dialogue and contribute to the ongoing conversation around gender equality and inclusion. Here's to more moments of genuine connection, transformative conversations, and unforgettable public speaking engagements in the journey ahead. #chimuanyadike #speakingengagements #womenintech #personaldevelopment #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #moderator
