Session: From Dreaming in Africa to Thriving in Tech
From dreaming of studying in Europe at 14 to realizing it with a strong passion for math and determination, I graduated with honors in computer science in Germany. Returning to Africa, being just a wife felt unfulfilling as an overqualified woman in a male-dominated society.In this Ted Talk, I'll share my journey of returning to Germany as a single mother, navigating a successful career, and discovering my true calling in UI test automation.
