    Birding, Field Research & Racism w/ Corina Newsome (@hood_naturalist)

    Corina Newsome is a wildlife conservationist conducting field research in rural Georgia, which is a long way from her hometown of Philly. The town has plantation museums glorifying slavery and her work site is down the road from where Ahmaud Arbery was killed - Why is she still there, you ask? It’s the passion for her work! She loves birds and all things in the natural world. She aims to inspire more Black birders to explore and feel safe enough to do so. You may have heard her powerful words in CNN, The Inquirer, NY Magazine, or on one of her many enthusiastic social media videos. What Did She Say?

    My Journey Breaking into Tech - First Step: Bootcamp

    Switching jobs can be tricky, but switching industries and leaping into a new career is no joke. Throughout this season I’ll share little bits about my journey breaking into my new tech role. When I started, I spent 2 months in a bootcamp learning the fundamentals required to succeed as a pre-sales system engineer. With a background primarily in Mechanical Engineering, I was surprised to be considered for the job. But remember this, most companies that think you’re the perfect candidate for the role will TEACH YOU what you need to know! You meet the qualifications - Go Apply for that Job, Sis!
