The artist + The art.

My plant app project that I’ve been working on. 🌿I'm learning a lot from

@YouTubeuniversity and I'm very happy to say, I'll be starting my UX/UI bootcamp in July. Slowly things are falling into place and I'm just happy and blessed to be apart of it all. I'm always open to tips or anything that any one can teach me. <3

My #DevOps Quote Today is on #Value:

My #DevOps Quote Today is on #Value:

“The long-term value of an enterprise is not captured by the value of its products and intellectual property, but rather by its ability to continuously increase the value it provides to customers and to create new customers through innovation.” — Jez Humble

Be well, do good work, and automate everything.

Growing up in Pittsburgh, I spent a lot of time in and around the East Liberty community. I went to middle school at the old Rogers CAPA in nearby Garfield. I also frequented the area on the weekends: from eating at Charlie Ung’s Tea Garden with my family (they had the best egg rolls and homemade duck sauce in America!), practicing for the Miss Black Teenage Pageant in the basement of the Presbyterian Church, shopping at David’s Shoes, and spending my Saturdays at Peabody (now Obama) for Centers for the Musically Talented. I could never have imagined that I would find myself coming back to East Liberty as an adult to find my dream job. But here I am! I am excited to announce that today I will start a new chapter in my career journey as Head of Social Impact for Duolingo. I am grateful for all of the experiences I’ve had over the past seven years since I left New York City to move back home to Pittsburgh. From purchasing my first home and starting a consulting company with my dearest friends to completing a doctoral degree, shifting careers, and collaborating with communities that helped shape me. These life-changing opportunities and events, along with my 15+ year career handling label operations for Universal Music Group, have helped prepare me for this amazing new role.   I am filled with gratitude for what I learned and witnessed as a full-time faculty member at Point Park University over the past couple of years. Of course, I will miss all of my students and those colleagues who have become friends. Still, I am ready and excited for the opportunity to do this vital work with Duolingo. I am looking forward to helping the organization carry out its mission of making quality education universally accessible. I also cannot wait to work closely with folks in East Liberty, those I know, and those I have yet to meet. Thank you to my family, friends, colleagues, and the #Duos I have met so far who have helped make this all possible! #grateful #newchapter #womenintech #blackwomenintech #missiondriven #socialimpact #icontainmultitudes #duolingo #nuo (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUCwhTer3Cg/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ever wondered what a sista with 3 degrees including a dual path 𝙈𝘽𝘼 in Information Technology & International Business looks like? Or what 20+ years in tech, working for multiple Fortune 100 companies including (but not restricted to) Amazon Web Services (𝘼𝙒𝙎) looks like? Or a corporate tech professional (currently a Sr. Technical Program Manager) with multiple certifications, including a 𝙋𝙈𝙋, and a 𝘾𝙎𝙈 looks like? —— ^^ my credentials ^^. At least *𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚* of them. I’m also a single mother (well, 😏 the kids are adults now). 𝙂𝙚𝙣 𝙓 𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙠. Brand Ambassador for Fly, Hip & Ageless. 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙧 (𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨). Elephant rider. 𝙑𝙤𝙡𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙤 𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧. Boat charter taker-over. 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧. Waterfall hiker. Cofounder of Black Men in STEM on @clubhouse . 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙧. Voted most likely to jump into deep water in 2018 & 2019. Proud wearer of locs. Possessor of Dope Life & 𝘿𝙤𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙤𝙥𝙚 𝙎𝙝𝙮𝙩. —— What’s on my mind? Whether I’ve been “shrinking-to-fit” as many women do. Whether making myself relatable, accessible & modeling the behavior of a “servant leader”, serves me or others, well. That while humility has its place, and I’m humbly grateful for my life - I’ve worked hella hard just to be silent about my hard work. So, humbly submitting my low key “flex”. Not for your approval, more like an FYI. —— Also: representation matters. —— #humblysubmitted #flex #drip #thatdriplife #flyageless #flyagelessambassador #tech #technology #representationmatters #womenintech #blackwomenintech #work #life #worklifebalance #diversity #MBA #PMP #CSM #50andfabulous #clubhouse #clubhouseapp #teamnatural #locs #locstyles #professional #investor #effyourboxes #effyourassumptions (at Pentagon City) https://www.instagram.com/p/COvcrIUh9v7/?igshid=eqm7dv2ghd5j

Still shook. So former CEO of @bet @iamdebralee was honored by #HistoryMakers and @pbs last night with a live capture of her life story. My squad was invited and it was incredible. I had no knowledge of her history as a Harvard law grad and was fascinated by her take on the backlash she once received around those “Uncut” days we allllll remember 😈. To hear her story, and to be in the room with so many Black legends and to just see a Black boss chick in the flesh, tripped me out. ALSO so many folks know how much BET programming helped shaped the course of my life. I mean my dad recorded stuff like #LutherVandross’ ‘So Amazing’ on VHS when and I was able to watch BET and Video Soul and all kinda of other music tv because I didn’t have cable. I almost shed a thug tear when the @raychewlive singers performed it. AND queen @chakaikhan KILLED ‘Sweet Thing.’ Oh yeah @ericbenet made me feel like I needed to get back in vocal coaching lol! I kept thinking “who’s life is this?” 😂 but I’m dumb grateful and to know people were excited to see US, representatives of one of the most reputable companies on the planet, and that I was JUST in a retail store about a year and some change ago...y’all, it’s wild. And I’m thanking God every step of the way. I don’t know why I’ve done the things in my life that I’ve done, but clearly it was for a reason. This was a full circle moment for me and I didn’t even have to sing to get here. 💜 #la #cali #blackintech #blackwomenintech #siliconvalley #blackhollywood #debralee #blackgirlmagic #apple (at Santa Monica, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hmfiWAl2T/?igshid=1ouwpxoac6fhw

Akinyi Ochieng Tech Journey

Akinyi Ochieng

Marketing at Nova Credit

How did your career in tech unleash itself? Before tech, I worked on social and economic development in Africa. While working with a multi-stakeholder nonprofit in Ghana, I realized the enormous role that the business community plays in advancing developmental goals and how technology can accelerate this impact. I then transitioned to working in financial technology because I view it as the foundation for inclusion. When we close the gap between those who have access to the formal financial services industry and those who have been left on the margins, we're creating a more equal society.

What are your business and lifestyle rituals to stay ahead? Center the practice of curiosity to design a career that is not only unique and meaningful but also reduces your blind spots. When you rely on patterns, it can be easy to default to what you know and stop innovating. By remaining curious, you expose yourself to new data or different points of view which can enrich your perspective.

What books/podcasts/network/resources do you recommend for someone trying to achieve better results within their career or entrepreneurial journey? One of my favorite books of the last year is "The Making of a Manager: What to Do When Everyone Looks to You" by Julie Zhao, which offers really useful insights on how to ask yourself and your team probing questions. I am also an avid podcast fan. Some business-focused favorites include the a16z podcast, LinkedIn's "Hello Monday", Masters of Scale with Reid Hoffman and Without Fail.

What actions/decisions did you take that had the biggest impact on your career? I am proactive in seeking out "peer mentors' -- people in my life who are making mistakes alongside me and sharing wins. We can learn more those with a lot of experience, but we can equally benefit from the perspectives of those learning at the same time -- particularly in new industries where we're learning to do things for the first time.

What do you think black women in tech should start doing? Seek out mentors and sponsors from diverse backgrounds -- within our community and beyond.

Why do you think black women in tech should keep doing? Lift others as we climb. Operate with an abundance mindset.

Why do you think black women in tech should stop doing? Don't let your life be dictated by the limitations of someone else's imagination.
