Tell us about your journey into tech?
I have loved the tech world for a number of years. I have launched e-commerce stores and now founded a tech platform, a crowdfunding platform for black women.

How do you feel you have made a difference in what you do?
I feel we are just starting on our journey, but so far, thousands of pounds have been raised using our platform. We want to see Black women win financially and we want to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.

What would you say is your biggest achievement?
We had a campaigner that overfunded on her original goal which was amazing. Also, gaining recognition and acceptance by notable publications like Metro, BBC, Glamour and more to come.

How do you think people can go about making a difference, in regards to spreading awareness of Black Women in tech?
I would love to discuss a partnership between our 2 organisations, as we share a common goal and can spread awareness together. I think Black Women in Tech is a much-needed organisation, I think if there was a way to further support the women we work with that is how we will ultimately spread awareness, by making more of a direct impact.
