The following thread was originally written by @NdukaAnthonyA I've come to discover that there's a huge gap in female gender inclusion in the Tech space and that could be due to not knowing about available communities that support the growth of women in Tech. Why do you need communities? African Tech Communities for ladies are majorly Non - Profit and are free to join. Meanwhile, They also offer you lots of opportunities like: free laptops, free education, mentorship, social interaction, financial support, jobs, etc. As a lady in the Tech space or newbie interested in Tech, Make sure you're part of any of these communities. Go alone and you go fast, Go with Communities, You go farrr!!!
