Tell any young person you know to check this out! One of the most common challenges people face after school is searching for a job! The competition is really high and many people end up doing anything to get by. But you don't have to join the rat race.

The kind of future you’d have is determined by the choices you make today. Make hay while the sun shines is an old adage that still holds true. You won’t always be young, so my advise to you is that while you’re still young, make the best of the opportunities to get so that you can create a comfortable future for yourself. #blackwomenintech #womenintech #computerscience #digitalempowerment #techcabal #africatech #girlsintech #girlchild #ikorodu #hightechskills #techteens #Mondaymotivation

Meet Shalewa, Shalewa is 25 years old and she is doing well for herself today but it wasn’t always the case. Shalewa was born into the family of an artisan and a petty trader. Her parents were determined that she will do better than them but they didn’t have all the resources so they sent her to a public school and ensured she was very studious. As soon as she was done with secondary school, she proceeded to a federal university where she studied hard and ran a small business on the side. Today Shalewa is an executive in a renowned company, she is able to send money to her parents from time to time and they are all happy. Not everyone starts out great but the decision you make would shape what your future would look like. Do not miss out on opportunities to become a better version of yourself. Keep improving, keep getting better.

This week determine to avoid excuses and be deliberate about changing your narrative. Evaluate yourself and make progress. Happy New Week!

YWIIT is an NGO that trains girls between the ages of 15 and 20 in tech skills that could set them up for life. This training is free for the girls but it costs us money. If you have an interest in partnering with us, send out a DM today. We would be glad to have you on board!

On Friday we celebrated amazing women who have gone ahead of us to do amazing things! Yesterday we celebrated mothers for their strength and resilience through thick and thin.
