For most of you (depending on when your reading this) are stuck #LondonLockdown indoors! Nevertheless, the show must go on, and I promise I won’t talk about the ‘C’ word in this blog, just fill you with positive vibes.

Time to wrap up the 1st quarter of 2020, and review it all! Again, the purpose of this series is really for me to soak in the past few months. It’s for my own well-being and self-reflection.

Before I start the review, I wish to say we are all living in weird times right now, sending love and prays to anyone…

Happy New Year friends, and welcome to the last 2019 quarterly Twitter highlights!

For me, I have loved 2019. I started the year optimistic and ended the year stronger than ever ✨ ✨ ✨

Time to wrap up 2019 Q4, and review it all! Again, the purpose of this series is really for me to soak in the past few months. It’s for my own well-being and self-reflection.

For January to September self-reflection, please refer to Q1, Q2, and Q3 blogs.

October

It’s Black History Month, and I’m feeling ready to conquer the month. We kick off the month with me posting my 1st Vlog video. Super proud of the animation intro and overall video editing.

I was featured by We Are Tech Women, I shared my overall tech journey…

Hi friends 👋 The summer heatwave is sadly over. It’s time to wrap up Q3 and I’m super excited to share some of my highlights with you all.

Again, the purpose of this series is really for me to soak in the past few months. It’s for my own well-being and self-reflection. Let’s start!

JULY

In July, I had fun talking with Startup Van about seed fundraising and how CGV is supporting underrepresented founders (people of colour, women and LGBTQ) with their fundraising in the…

Welcome friends 👋

After many DMs via Twitter & Instagram, I have decided to repost my tech journey so far on my medium account. This was originally posted on Elpha. This post covers what sparked me into tech, my job roles/companies, lesson learned, takeaways and the #TechTea.

Elpha is where women in tech to talk candidly online.

The Journey

Early 2015, I remembered listening to this lecturer speak about her career in technology. She explained why she loved teaching, how technology will evolve in the future and the importance of why to be in the space now.

I was sold.

The truth was I…

Last week, I decided to ask my Twitter followers about period pains and what they use and do. To continue the conversation, I have decided to do a research post about FemTech.

As a woman in my late 20s, I suffer from painful periods which has affected my productivity (averagely about 2/3 days every month), my career progression, and mental wellbeing. Since my tweet, the response I have received online and off-line has been incredible.

Hello, friends, 👋 It’s July and we just wrapped up Q2 and it’s time to review it all.

I will be also sharing some organisations to check out if you're interested in tech & start-up!

April

Started the month doing a lot of reflection and re-planning for 2019. Also, reconnecting with the community and catching up with friends.

As everyone knows, I left my full-time job back in March. It naturally ended and I had no more interest in carrying on working in government (for now).

Welcome friends 👋

For those who missed it, I have written up notes from my workshop at AfroTech Fest. Leave me a comment below and let me know your thoughts.

Welcome friends 👋 to my first 2019 quarterly review. I’m going to call them my “Tweet Highlights “ series…

I’m Abi, and this is my serious face (in the above picture).

I have decided to share my milestones and good times throughout the year for my own accountability. The purpose of this series is really for me to soak in the past few months for my own well-being and self-reflect.

I do have a couple of announcements throughout this review — none hasn’t been publically announced yet. So, let’s go…

January

I kick off the year with this tweet (as shown below), as a little reminder to myself that I have full control of my story.

Sometimes, we all need a little reminder that some things are out of our control and what will be will be. …
