What’s something you’ve done that you’re really proud of?

Forming a sisterhood with a group of girls from all over the world who I met through Black Girls Lead. We’ve maintained contact through a group chat of 30+ girls. Another thing that I’m really proud of is attaining an internship at Google. I’ve always considered myself an artist and never really opened my mind to computer science. When I joined Google, I found ways to incorporate both.
