Hello and welcome to the first issue of my newsletter! if you are new to me, I'm Joanna and I wear many hats - first and foremost I'm a proud black woman in tech, a career coach, a speaker and a consultant.
I've created this space to share my experiences, provide insights, and help guide those of you who are aspirants, newcomers, or currently finding your way in the tech world.
For this inaugural edition, I'm diving right into one of my favorite topics... how to get into tech.
See when I got into tech I didn't exactly have a big plan nor was I day dreaming about getting into tech, all I knew was that you went to college and once you graduate you get a job in your chosen field, however it didn't exactly all work out like that, but I would say I got lucky and got the very first tech job I applied for. I didn't always work in the roles I wanted, but I've learned a lot and I'm going to share that with you.

Every other day, someone asks me how to get into tech and my answer has been consistent over the years.
And there you have it, transitioning into a tech role is a journey not a race. Take one step at a time and before you know it, you'll be exactly where you want to be.
In the coming issues, I'll dive deeper into these steps and explore other important topics around careers, DEI and tech. I hope we can make this newsletter interactive and packed with helpful tips, so please do not hesitate to share your questions, experiences and topic suggestions.
