<p>As the conversation around women in tech continues to gain momentum, communities are playing an important role in helping women access opportunities, develop skills, build networks, and thrive in the technology ecosystem.&nbsp;</p>

<h4 id="1-summarise-your-mornings-in-one-sentence" class="wp-block-heading">1. Summarise your mornings in one sentence</h4>
<p>I start my mornings with Bible study and Daily Manna, then I review my Trello board, plan my tasks for the week, and share progress updates with my team asynchronously or in meetings.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="2-describe-your-gadget-setup" class="wp-block-heading">2. Describe your gadget setup</h4>
<p>My setup is simple but intentional: a laptop for execution, reliable internet, a notebook for ideas and reflections, and an award on my desk that reminds me why consistency matters. I keep showing up every day now.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="3-what-tech-tools-applications-do-you-use-the-most-for-work" class="wp-block-heading">3. What tech tools/ applications do you use the most for work?</h4>
<p>Trello for task management, Google Workspace for collaboration, StreamYard for sessions/events, and Substack for content and newsletters.&nbsp;</p>

<h4 id="4-what-do-you-do-when-you-need-inspiration" class="wp-block-heading">4. What do you do when you need inspiration?</h4>
<p>I take a step back from screens, reflect, pray, read, and sometimes explore conversations or content from other community builders and creators. I also journal my thoughts, revisit past wins, and allow quiet time to reset my focus and creativity.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="5-what-mobile-application-can-you-not-do-without-daily" class="wp-block-heading">5. What mobile application can you not do without daily?</h4>
<p>X (Twitter) keeps me updated on tech conversations, community trends, and what people in the space are talking about.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="6-what-tech-solution-do-you-wish-someone-had-created" class="wp-block-heading">6. What tech solution do you wish someone had created?</h4>
<p>What I wish existed is a simple at-home hair styling solution that understands my hair type and face shape and helps me switch up styles easily without needing a stylist all the time at home, no hassle.</p>
<h4 id="7-if-you-have-unlimited-time-and-money-what-problem-would-you-solve" class="wp-block-heading">7. If you have unlimited time and money, what problem would you solve?</h4>
<p>I’d focus on expanding access to education, tech, and career opportunities for women and young people in underserved communities so talent is shaped by potential, not gender, geography or access. I also wish for tools that make learning and growth more practical, inclusive, and easy to use anywhere.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="8-which-woman-in-tech-inspires-you-the-most" class="wp-block-heading">8. Which woman in tech inspires you the most?</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ericakuhl/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Erica Kuhl</a> inspires me the most. She has shown that building strong communities can shape products, careers, and entire ecosystems globally, proving that community-first thinking drives real impact more.</p>

<p>If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair. — Shirley Chisholm. It reminds me to speak up, take initiative, and create my own opportunities wherever I find myself.</p>
