On Thursday, I had the opportunity to present at the Elevate and Empower event sponsored by WiCyS. I spoke on the topic, “Revolutionizing Small Business with Automation and AI.” This was by far the best presentation I’ve delivered so far and mind you, I presented this same session in Philly in March of last year.
The engagement was top tier. The students in the audience had heard of automation before, but they began asking about internships with me to learn more. The business owners recognized gaps in their operations and booked on the spot.
My favorite moment of the day was when a young lady asked, “How did you begin your journey in tech?” If you’ve ever heard my story, you know it’s a unique and nontraditional path into technology. In that moment, I realized I am doing exactly what God has called me to do.
I sat in my car afterward and bawled my eyes out, because I can feel God shifting me in this season.
