Wonder Women Tech with Lisa Mae Brunson

I was so nervous to interview Lisa Mae Brunson, the founder of Wonder Women Tech, but I did it and she was awesome.

Hear Me Code with Shannon Turner

My last interview was Shannon Turner of Hear Me Code. It’s a program she started in her apartment after not being taken seriously in tech where she taught other women to code, who taught other people to code, who teach other people to code! I thought it was an awesome concept.
