Mr. Zero Trust | I post about cybersecurity, technology, and immigrants | CISSP, CISM, ITILv4 | Mentor | CyberSecurity | Principal Consultant at Femi Ogunji Consulting | Senior Security Consultant at TELUS
As we honor Black History Month, I reflect on the journey that brought me here – a proud Black individual thriving in the dynamic world of cybersecurity. I'm reflecting on the remarkable journey of Black individuals who paved the way in various fields, including tech and cybersecurity. As a Black Canadian working in this predominantly white domain, I stand on the shoulders of giants like Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Margaret Hamilton, whose brilliance and perseverance broke down barriers and inspired generations. 🚀💻 The official theme for this year's Black History Month in Canada is "Black Excellence: A Heritage to Celebrate; a Future to Build" My path in cybersecurity hasn't always been easy. Facing stereotypes and navigating underrepresentation can be challenging. But the passion for protecting information and securing systems, coupled with the support of mentors and allies, fueled my determination. In an industry where diversity is still evolving, I stand as a testament that barriers can be broken, and ceilings shattered. 🌐🔐 Embracing my identity, I've navigated through challenges, carved my path, and succeeded in a domain that has been historically dominated. Today, I'm proud to contribute to a more diverse and inclusive cybersecurity landscape in Canada. I mentor aspiring Black youth, actively advocate for representation in STEM fields, and work towards building secure digital spaces for everyone. Cybersecurity isn't just about codes and firewalls; it's about breaking through stereotypes, defying expectations, and proving that excellence knows no color. 🌈🌐 To all aspiring minds, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds, know that your unique perspectives and talents are essential in building a safer digital future. 💪🏿💡 This Black History Month, let's celebrate our collective achievements while acknowledging the ongoing need for inclusivity and equity. Let's continue to celebrate diversity, challenge norms, and collectively shape an industry that welcomes everyone. Here's to a future where every face in cybersecurity is a reflection of the vibrant tapestry that is humanity! 🌍🚀 #BlackHistoryMonth #Cybersecurity #DiversityInTech #BlackInTech #BreakingBarriers #TechExcellence

✨ If you have not yet reached out to your Black/African-American employees, direct reports, peers, or colleagues about the mass shooting in Jacksonville, it is not too late... You do not know how? Here are a few examples: 👉🏾"Hey, I heard about the mass shooting in Jacksonville and I wanted to know if everything was okay" 👉🏾"Hey, I heard about the mass shooting in Jacksonville, I am here if you want to talk" 👉🏾"Hey, I heard about the mass shooting in Jacksonville, I am thinking of you" Some employees do not have the luxury of living in a world where everything remains business as usual. #courageousleadership #empatheticleadership #nevertoolate #reachout #littlethingsmatter

Creating opportunities for those who come after is not equally, but far MORE important than just being the first. It is the difference between trivial historical footnote and truly historic impact. Becoming the first is not an achievement; it’s an ASSIGNMENT. #TheSuccesspert #iwd2024 #blackwomanpower #womenshistorymonth #mentoring #mentorship
There's nothing like seeing someone who looks like you achieve something great in your field. It can be inspiring and motivating. The story of Jeanine, who became the first Black woman to receive her wings in the U.S. Coast Guard, and her mentee La'Shanda, exemplifies the power of representation and mentorship in breaking barriers. This StoryCorps story is a reminder that being the first is a big feat, but it can be equally important to build connections and mentorship to create opportunities for those who come after you. La'Shanda pays tribute to her mentor Jeanine in one of the highest honors by saying, "You've changed my mind about what's possible."

⭐️Celebrating Black History! This Black History Month, we honor the remarkable contributions of Frederick McKinley Jones, an innovator whose groundbreaking work revolutionized the field of refrigeration technology. As we reflect on his legacy, we recognize the profound impact he has had on the automotive and food industries, as well as his enduring influence on innovation and entrepreneurship. Frederick McKinley Jones, born in 1893, overcame significant challenges to become one of the most influential inventors of the 20th century. His inventive spirit and relentless pursuit of excellence led to the creation of the first reliable and portable refrigeration system for trucks. This innovation not only transformed the transportation of perishable goods but also revolutionized the food industry, enabling the safe and efficient delivery of fresh produce and dairy products across long distances. Additionally, Jones' pioneering work extended to the military, where his refrigeration units played a crucial role in preserving blood, medicine, and food supplies during World War II, ultimately saving countless lives and bolstering the logistical capabilities of the armed forces. #BlackHistoryMonth #Innovation #DiversityandInclusion #FrederickMcKinleyJones
