Hey everyone, How are you? I hope that you are well. I ended up taking an unexpected break. I’ve had a hard time managing being a mom and a founder. I had to cut back on a lot of things and re-strategize. Some days are still hard but I have a more manageable routine now. I’m switching to a monthly schedule I love putting this newsletter. Highlighting underrepresented folks in tech gives me a lot of joy. However, I need to cut back on the time I spend on it till things get back to somewhat normal. I’m going to switch to a monthly schedule for now.
Have a blog post to share? If you are blogging on topics related to coding, please submit it for consideration for the next issue! Happy reading, Veni
