Rage for those who were not allowed to

Doctors didn’t listen, bed rest isolated me, labor was long and hard. My ending was better than I imagined.

This experience is another example of the realities of being a Black Woman. It’s why we make magic out of every experience.

It’s Black Maternal Health Week and I think it’s time to share why I disappeared 2025 and slowly coming back.

The joys of bringing life met the complexities of being a Black Woman.

So if you get accept to YC or on Forbes 30 under 30 there a high probability you’re committing fraud

I’ve done a lot all under the age of 30

I’ve slowed down and became more intentional and this person thought I was just getting started 🤣

Someone trying to one up me: oh I went to X school, a lot harder to get into then the school you went to

Me: oh ya, I taught at that school for a bit, but nice to know you went there ☺️

Took my first consultation call for a fractional CTO role today ✨

Got to deep dive into a new project and find the gaps I can help with.

Coding a website by hand today just to feel something

But somehow, Tyler Perry’s wigs would still be bad.

But Druskis skits would be in another level lmfao

Also potions. Would we be able to do hair growth, potions? The perfect edge control? The perfect LOC/LCO potion?

Or can I enchant gloves to part my hair for me? Can my twist out be done by these gloves? Can they grease my scalp?

I’m under the belief I can care for her and work 🙃

But also be looking for in home care

Ok who has advice for a first time mom getting ready to go back to work? I wfh full time and my little one will be 5 months when I go back

“Somewhere on Earth, someone remembers you for something you forgot you ever did.
And that version of you lives forever in their head…” even if that version no longer exists for you.

Today has been terrible.

That is all.

I can usually see the positive in everything but today I can’t.

Still not the worst day of my life but wow does today suck.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

Have you talked to the person/team that’s blocking you?

Thank you for asking 🥰

I did! I wrote a poem and will work on a sketch before bed

Today is a day where I just want to make art

Because I’m mourning the creative parts I’ve turned off in order to survive and thrive

Holding space for how the stress of todays words is affecting our elders who might not have the skills to dig deeper and find information like we can

It’s amazing and terrifying at the same time.

Like I’m excited to see what’s next but also people are not talking about security and compliance enough 😩

The better of a dev you are, the better you are with gen coding tools

AI is amplifying bad patters that devs have

Mostly because leadership team are creating environments that allows this to happen

When failures happens it's a systems issues.

Railway has to be a prime example of why vibe coding doesn’t work in enterprise.

They have had more downtime and outages since saying they opened up to AI coding

Scale is the first event I went to where I had someone follow me around the conference and didn’t know how to get to my car safely.

Reached out to get support and had a team of people come to help me & address the person.

Always appreciated that. Glad to hear things are still good over there!

I’m a parallel universe I’m someone who never forgets the point. I’m trying to make.

I thought the point of international women’s day was not to work to show the impact of women’s work.

How did lovable and anthropomorphic get us to work today 😭

This week completed my first 100 days at the most in the most fulfilling role I’ve had in my life.

Same. I’m noticing things are getting easier by default and I think I have a better understanding of how I like to use the tool. Do you feel the same as far as getting your workflow down?
