As I look back on the path that has led me to where I am today, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunities that have shaped my journey, particularly the support and education I received from Unloop. Participating in their program while incarcerated was a turning point in my life, offering not just coding skills but a vision for what my future could be. The moment I stepped into the world of coding with Unloop, it wasn't just about learning to code; it was about opening a door to new possibilities, overcoming challenges, and breaking down barriers that once seemed insurmountable. The support didn't stop upon my release; it intensified, proving that Unloop's commitment to its students extends far beyond the prison walls. Today, as the CEO of Victory Code, I'm honored to collaborate with Unloop, the very program that played a pivotal role in my own transformation. Together, we're launching the next Victory Code Bootcamp in May, specifically designed for formerly incarcerated individuals in Washington(formerly incarcerated women of color are highly encouraged to apply). This initiative is more than just a coding bootcamp; it's a testament to the power of transformation and the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to rewrite their story. I'm excited to not only contribute to Unloop's mission but to also provide a platform for others to grow, learn, and embark on their own journeys of transformation. This collaboration is my way of giving back, paying it forward, and hopefully inspiring others to do the same. To everyone who's supported me, believed in me, and contributed to my journey: thank you. Let's continue to make a difference, one line of code at a time. For more information on the Victory Code Bootcamp or to join us on this journey, please feel free to reach out. Together, we can code our way to victory.

I found my courage to build something and since then, all I want to do is build more things. I love innovation.
🌟 Big News and a Heartfelt Thank You! 🌟 Last week marked a significant milestone in our journey towards community transformation. One of my kids landed a phenomenal job offer at $40 per hour, and two others secured tech internships. We have seen many other students get into well paying jobs. This is the change we envisioned when we set out to uplift our community, guiding our youth to prosperous, community-sustaining careers. Reflecting on this achievement, I am reminded of an article from December 24th, 2015, which highlighted our aspirations and challenges. Despite being financially strapped, we never lost sight of our goals. We dreamed of expanding our curriculum to include robotics, entrepreneurship, and student project showcases. Our vision then? A dedicated, tech-focused center offering a nurturing space where creativity and innovation thrive. This dream was born out of sheer determination and faith, crafted from nothing but a strong will to make a difference. We were told it was impossible, but we've proven otherwise. Our progress may be gradual – a marathon, not a sprint – but our resolve is unshakeable. In the next decade, we see ourselves creating a space where kids can explore their potential without limits. As I share this story with you this Sunday, let it be a source of inspiration. Never doubt your ability to drive change. Together, we are here for the 'long haul', building a brighter future for our children and our community. Consider making a donation to Pi515. https://lnkd.in/g82_-2AH #CommunityTransformation #TechEducation #NeverGiveUp #InspirationSunday #iowa #talent #pi515

Code Club volunteer Leon Maritz sees first-hand how important it is to get kids interested and involved in tech early on. He spoke to Louisa Taylor at at Canterbury Tech about what he's noticed: "The confidence to try changes on a dime over the space of a few short years." Leon remarked that while eight year old students are happy to give coding a go, at eleven many will turn down the chance to try—because it is unfamiliar and sounds hard. Introducing opportunities to learn early is crucial! Here are two ways that people can help to make these opportunities happen: 💻 Giving devices (less than 10 years old with a working power cable) to RAD to be recycled and used by students who otherwise wouldn't have access. 🗒Volunteering to help upskill teachers in digital technologies so they can confidently deliver the curriculum and also establish a Code Club branch at their school. If you're in a place to donate devices or have the skills to mentor teachers and become part of the Code Club mahi, please get in touch! Read more:

MY YEAR OF 2023 I started my LinkedIn journey this year as a 17 year old student as I transition from secondary into higher learning education this year. During my 2023 school year I learnt many things like finance, engineering, programming and many more! 🧑🎓 However, while I was learning and still am, I consistently face challenges as I always ought to find a way to not only help myself but others too! Thus, I started SG Tech Tertiary (https://lnkd.in/gwDGJAKt), a place where youth who are interested to learn more about Technology related things like programming to come and join us as youth would be able to learn from experts in the field for free. 🧑💻 During the Past 12 months (2023), I met more than 300 people from different backgrounds who gave me a very different way of thinking about the world. During the moment that they shared, I truly do feel a sense of belonging in myself instead of being lost as I used to be. This really gave me great insights about people as I am not the only one feeling a certain way (I used to think that I feel a certain way, that made me a strange person). During the months, realizing that people will always be there for you as long as you reach out. This year I have only realized that people in the community are always willing to give back, as I volunteered for NDP23 (Heartware Network) I saw more than 1000+ people volunteering their free time to give back to society. Even small communities like ItsRainingRaincoats who help migrant workers, people from all ages come and help them out! Although we do see negative things sometimes, we still have kindhearted people in the community who are always ready and willing to give back. Recently, I met people who told me great insights about Mental health and how important it is. I have always been a workaholic, but I realized in the past months, YES you can work all you want and earn that cash but if it drives you out of society life, you will be devastated as not all things money can buy! Do not get me wrong about money, we still need money to eat, live but mental health or even physical health, money can never buy these things! Overall, I would hope that despite any setbacks that I and you face, we will stand strong together and persevere as we (community) would help one another as long as we reach out to others 🙂. Many people said 2023 is the hardest year as it is a recovering year from COVID but as Patricia Thunder said: 'Your hardest times, will often lead to the greatest moments of your life.'
