 I wouldn't be where I am today without the support  from mentors and those who opened the doors for me when I knocked and asked for help. Today I'm joined by my friends, Kim (@thekimmykola), Emma (@_emmamartin) & Darren (@mrdarrenv) as we discuss the power behind the concept of "paying it forward". We've all contributed to this idea of paying it forward through teaching courses such as Code First Girls and mentoring to help others land their first tech job. We hope that this episode inspires to contribute back to your communities and help others in your own way and capacity!This subject is a close one to my heart, so I genuinely did get a little emotional throughout 😂  A huge thank you to Code First Girls and similar initiatives for changing the lives of so many people in tech.

Joined by very special guests - Erleene (@erlydr), Yasmin (@YasminYAli) & Rahmat (@thisis_rahmat) - we'll be covering: What is DevOps? What's the importance of DevOps Engineers? What technologies are needed as a DevOps Engineer?  If we've convinced you that this is an exciting career path, what can you do to get started today?  We also discuss about how unlike other areas of tech, DevOps seems to lack the most women. This episode is a special one to me because it kick-started the "Ladies in DevOps" community - a safe space for self-identifying women in the DevOps space or interested in learning more about it. We're now 400+ community members in and are happy to welcome more, head over to https://ladiesindevops.com to sign up!〰️ Liked this episode and want to chat some more? Find me on social media!

Happy October, friends! For this episode, I chat about a topic that is really important to me: minimalism. Minimalism has been something that has become "trendy" in recent years and because it slowly is becoming mainstream, there are things that people tend to believe that it is. In actual fact, it's a lot more than just decluttering and getting rid of your stuff to live from your backpack. Today I share my journey to minimalism, what it has done for me and what it really means.
