During an extended stay in Barbados at the height of the pandemic In 2020, I had the opportunity and interact with students at the University of the West Indies (UWI) in the Computer Science department. They were eager to learn about my journey to Microsoft and were keen to understand what lead to that career path.
I had been contemplating a way to give back to the place that molded me into the person I am today, and this was a great opportunity. I started a mentoring ring with the help of Mechelle Gittens, focused on preparing UWI students for the life as a software engineer within and outside of Barbados.
I had no idea what I was doing but I wanted to make sure these kids had every opportunity to showcase their talent on the international stage. From that first group of students, 2 landed permanent jobs at Microsoft.
I’m proud to say that our 2nd cohort minted 3 Microsoft internships this summer! This is the first time that we’ve had students intern directly from UWI in the Caribbean and I’m proud to have been a part of that.
It takes a village and I had lots of help! @KamaraSwaby @shonique_thomas @captainsafia @jeffsteinbok @therealcodgi (they are more but not all on X).
Below is a picture I took yesterday after I got to meet these kids for the first time in person at Microsoft after their orientation.

Russia is vast. It is unimaginably massive. It is 11 timezones long & has a 36000km long coast and 17 million sqkm in area
Then, why does it still fear losing support of Ukraine and desire it's landmass so badly?
The answer is 'Geography'

My heart broke a little on Monday.
I was in class with 30ish 6 year olds doing an activity where they had to draw themselves and write a sentence about what was most important to them. They were all really excited and got started straightaway.

Today, I paid over $1000 out of pocket for my miscarriage. They didn't tell me it would cost so much to lose a baby. Here are other things they don't tell you about miscarriages. A thread based on my experience. CW: miscarriage & infertility.

Hi, I don’t like talking about personal stuff here, but in light of anti-Asian violence in my native ATL, I want to share my experience of being assaulted by a group of strangers a block from my NYC apt in 2018, to shed light on how real anti-Asian hate is and always has been.

Most people know about the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. But did you know about the Page Act of 1875? It was the first federal law to restrict immigration in general, and it specifically targeted Asian women who were believed to be entering the US for prostitution or polygamy.

Last Friday @symonefowler and I got woken up at 4am by policeman at our door (we saw on the ring doorbell about to bust in). Apparently a neighbor called after they car our lights on in the garage (the police came to do a wellness check). That was not a fun way to wake up...
