Lidie

Tell us about your journey into tech?
I studied business administration although I knew I liked computer science more, but I was too scared. I thought computer science would be to difficult for me. A decision I regret. Now I am working as an IT consultant and studying part-time computer science. I work mostly with men. And would love to see more diversity.

How do you feel you have made a difference in what you do?
I am sure I can do more but for now, I am trying to empower other women who have doubts about working in the tech field.

What would you say is your biggest achievement?
The realisation that I can achieve so much if I work hard enough for it. Even if others try to convince me otherwise.

How do you think people can go about making a difference, in regards to spreading awareness of Black Women in tech?
Through more presence in the media
