“To Every Girl Who’s Ever Felt Too Small for Tech — Read This”

I didn’t grow up writing code in my childhood bedroom or building robots in middle school. I wasn’t surrounded by engineers. I just had questions, curiosity, and this quiet fire inside me that whispered — maybe tech could be for me too.

When I stepped into the world of AI and data, I felt overwhelmed. Everything looked advanced, and full of unspoken expectations. I questioned myself more than I should have.

“Do I belong here?”
“Is this just a phase?”
“Will anyone even take me seriously?”

But something shifted the moment I started learning in public — and now, writing. Every blog post, every line of code, and every conversation reminds me:
You don’t need to be loud to take up space. You just need to show up.

This is why I write.
This is why I stay.
This is why I believe we need more stories like this.

To the Girls and Women Reading This

If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in tech — you’re not alone.
If you've ever felt too soft, too shy, too unsure — guess what? You still belong here.

We don’t need to change who we are to fit into tech. We need to change what tech looks like to include who we already are.

The Hope

My dream isn’t just to master AI or land a high-paying role . My dream is to walk into every space — classrooms, offices, and online forums — and see more women, more kindness, more voices like mine.

Because when women write code, ask questions, start blogs, and break silence — the whole industry evolves.

And this, right here, is just my beginning.
