In this episode of the Mycelium Network podcast, I speak with Temitope Asama to learn about her tech journey, highlighting her initial interests and challenges. Her active involvement in the CHAOSS community underscores the importance of supportive networks in fostering growth. Additionally, Temitope's advocacy for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the tech space is a critical theme, reflecting her commitment to creating a more inclusive and equitable industry. This narrative emphasizes the power of community and the significance of DEI efforts in shaping the tech landscape.
The conversation sheds light on the significant hurdles that African developers encounter in tapping into global job markets, emphasizing the restrictive impact of geographical and economic barriers. It also explores how open-source projects and a commitment to lifelong learning can serve as powerful tools for overcoming these obstacles, enabling developers to build a global presence and enhance their skills in a competitive industry. This part of the discussion highlights the critical importance of accessibility, networking, and skill development in breaking down barriers to opportunities.
I (Schalk Neethling) also briefly share my story from music to tech illustrating the diverse paths leading to the tech industry, highlighting the value of varied experiences. This shared experience between Temitope and myself emphasizes the dynamic, inclusive nature of the tech community, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique journeys.
