Editor's note:

I am living life confidently, and I am unapologetic about it. I call this era “my confidence era”. This simply means I am taking charge of everything and challenging myself daily. 

I’ve had many great moments in my career working as a lawyer. However, the one thing that I am especially proud of myself for, and I would say was the turning point in my career, was when I poured my entire focus and savings into personal development. Initially, it was a very tough decision, but I am so glad I did, and I will always advise my girlies to invest in personal development.

Working in tech, I’d say the biggest lesson I’ve learnt so far is that every opportunity I get to collaborate with my team members across different departments allows me to learn something new.

Thinking about my journey in life and my career in general, I would say this to my younger self, JUST BREATHE!

International Women’s Day is a very important day for me. It is a day to celebrate history. As women, we’ve come a long way in society and have had to fight for our rights to many things. So, it’s key to celebrate and honour ourselves on such an important day!

For International Women’s Day, women of Kora are sharing their stories on working in tech as a woman and what it means to #EmbraceEquity, read the rest of series here.
