Your weekly newsletter for black women in tech.

Hey,

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to our IT Edition of our weekly newsletter. First I have to say thank you to all the women and men who reached out with resources to be shared in this IT Edition newsletter. If you sent an event or resource and it wasn't added this week, I'll make sure to add it in the coming weeks! 

About My IT Experience
For many who may not know my background. I have 9+ years in IT. I worked my way from desktop support on wall street to working on projects for Google and Nike, to IT Manager at BounceX, Director of Technology at App Forge, and now building my own IT automation driven HR company Culturefiy along with Frauvis. I've also held roles where I did hybrid responsibilities of a Security Officer and DevOps Engineer, which is where I originally learned my automation skills and applied it to IT Management.

In This Newsletter
The bulk of this newsletter is this intro which is a super quick guide. Many of these are resources I've used for years to keep up to date in IT or were recommended by the Twitter IT community. 

Keep in touch, I'll be sharing more resources and turning this intro into a blog post. But check these out to get started, NOW sis 😉!

Enjoy,
Naya
Founder + CEO
