Mokgadi's Story I used tools like Hootsuite, HubSpot, Looker Studio, and WordPress, to name a few, and I wanted to know how these interfaces are built. After a little bit of research, I discovered that coding is a language we use to communicate with machines. This was very mind-blowing because it reminded me of the first time I learnt trigonometric identities. What used to be a 180-degree triangle now had different layers and ways of solving the problem. It felt sacred like I had a way of decoding ancient scrolls to understand the universe better. For me, that's what coding symbolises. Additionally, tech is the future. It's a broad industry and it's ever-evolving and plays into my value of life-long learning.

🙋‍♀️ Mokgadi's Motivation

I have been in the Marketing field for over three years and have been curious about how the various dashboards we use, especially in Digital Marketing, have been created. Fast forward to now, my motivation is to join a dynamic and rapidly evolving industry, which is tech. My curiosity is the main driver for learning how to code with SheCodes. Moreover, I am looking to build a successful career in tech because it is worthwhile and meaningful for me to develop my independence and be able to make a difference in my friends and family's lives. I want to prove to myself that I can do the hard things and make my dreams come true, and if I can do the hard things, so can anybody else. After watching the training with Matt, I got inspired by why he started SheCodes.

🤹‍♀️ Mokgadi's Hobbies

I enjoy going on hikes. The more remote, the better because I can discover new aspects of myself while exploring nature. I enjoy listening to music and attending small, intimate, live music performances. I also enjoy collecting vinyls, trying new food and new experiences.

The SheCodes Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The SheCodes Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
