From breaking down complex threats for non-technical audiences to helping parents navigate online safety for their kids, this conversation goes beyond the technical to explore the human side of cybersecurity.

ARTICLE QUOTE:
“Since college, I have often been the only Black woman in the room. I had to learn how to maintain my strength in spaces that were not always built for me and to understand how people who do not look like me think because I believe there is something to learn from everyone.
“As a Black woman in tech, I had to learn that even if I am the only one at the table who looks like me, my perspective is both valuable and often missing. Funny enough, what I enjoy most about working in technology is being an unassuming cyber professional. Many people have a fixed idea of what someone in cybersecurity looks and acts like, and it usually is not someone who leads with connection, carries a smile, and excels at people skills. Yet those are exactly the qualities that have helped me succeed. These traits are not only part of who I am. They are my superpowers.
“It is absolutely acceptable to be yourself and never hesitate to ask for help. That includes learning the unspoken rules of the culture around you and identifying those who are willing to support you along your journey. We all need help; no one advances alone.”
