Sinethemba 's Story I first became interested in coding back in 2022, but I backed out due to feeling like maybe I am too much of a creative or I'm not smart enough to be in this field. I also did not have the funds for a degree but, as time went on, I started realizing how much technology has made my life so convenient from AI to many other apps and productivity tools which is especially important for someone like me who is constantly looking for tech that makes life easier so I thought why not get behind this wave and leave the imposter syndrome behind and allow yourself to be part of something great.

🙋‍♀️ Sinethemba 's Motivation

I am writing to express my interest in the Shecodes free bootcamp, driven by its mission to bridge the gender gap in the tech industry. By reading your mission statement I learned that women are currently holding only 25% of coding jobs and earning 30% less than their male counterparts, Shecode is uniquely positioned to change the narrative. I am inspired by the Shecodes' commitment to equip women with relevant, in demand skills. As someone deeply motivated by growth, I believe learning coding through your bootcamp will not only allow me to thrive in a technical role but also contribute to the larger mission of gender equality in the industry. Joining Shecodes is an opportunity I approach with optimism and determination. I am ready to immerse myself in the programming skills that will build a lasting foundation for a meaningful career, while also contributing to closing the gender gap in tech.

🤹‍♀️ Sinethemba 's Hobbies

I am a creative writer, intuitive, and digital storyteller. My hobbies include going out for morning walks, weekend hikes, and many artistic creative projects. I am constantly creating and amercing myself in new projects and learning new skills. Typically, what I like to do for fun is watch films and write up a film analysis breaking down all the themes' meanings and hidden messages this is mostly because I am a film school graduate. I also like to stay up to date with new technology.

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.
