This is a blog about my firey passions, tech & innovation to put it super basic!

Weird Fact:

Growing up, I didn't know anyone *especially girls sadly* that liked tech/coding/graphics/design at all [much less a deep burning firey passion] so when I wrote my first line of code when I was 10 as well as got my first editor [jasc psp8!] I thought I was doing weird shit that most don't do.

SHOCKING PLOT TWIST

I didn't know I was coding, web developing, designing, graphic designing etc until I was 24

I mean my ignorance probably isn't too shocking - especially for strangers but like how does that happen?!

Sadly I wasn't welcome in tech clubs at my school even in college. I'm a bubbly, loud, charismatic girl who loves to have fun and make friends. So they deemed me a ditz.

I was literally laughed at, teacher ignored my questions, in college I was forced to partner up with a man that wouldn't speak to me [on top of that he may have only known Spanish] he also would make whatever he wanted for each project with no regard to me, his films were the bare minimum if I was lucky, and my teacher wouldn't listen to me

First website I made [dev & design] at 12 was my pride and joy. It was literally a text box in the middle of the page, surrounded by Dollz from dollzmania. <<SENT SITE TO CRUSH & HE SAID "UH WHAT?" MY DRAMATIC ASS DIDNT SHOW ANYONE ANY SITE I MADE UNTIL I WAS 27. THIS LAST YEAR

Long Story Short××

So stoked minorities & women are so much more accepted, that I found out I had a talent that was there all along, believe in yourself & find your community
