Have you ever felt the exhilarating rush of shattering expectations, both your own and those of others? That's the heartbeat of our latest conversation with Ebun Aluko, a tech prodigy whose journey from the vibrant landscapes of Nigeria to the bustling tech hubs of the United States is nothing short of inspiring. Her story, infused with the Grand Rapids vibe and the richness of Nigerian culture, is a testament to the global influence of tech education and the relentless pursuit of knowledge.

As the vibrant mural walls of Miami's Wynwood district envelop us in their artistic embrace, Tech Hustle's third season launches with an energy that's palpable and a perspective that's transformative. We had the pleasure of inviting Catalina Pena to the mic, whose life story is as colorful and impactful as the setting around us. Revel with us through a journey that traverses childhood upheavals, professional pitfalls, and the tenacity in creating a six million dollar wave of empowerment through career coaching and workshops, especially within the black and brown communities. Catalina's narrative is a testament to the strength found in our roots and the profound support systems that elevate our collective futures.
The heart of our discussion beats to the rhythm of diversity in tech, a melody that Catalina and I both harmonize with. Reminiscing about our early Twitter days, we recount the vibrant Blackbirds 2018 event, where the seeds of change were sown, fostering growth that we see flourishing within our peers today. Catalina's influence, particularly on individuals from underrepresented backgrounds, Afro Latinos like her, is a beacon for the industry. We share stories that underscore the power of elevating others and celebrate the far-reaching impacts of our collective efforts in amplifying diversity in tech.
Navigating through the corporate labyrinths, Catalina's wisdom as a career coach shines a spotlight on aligning one's profession with their values and the courage required to pivot towards more fulfilling horizons. We peel back the layers of adversity to uncover pearls of resilience, underscoring the importance of gratitude and the unexpected opportunities that arise from seemingly unrelated job experiences. As we weave these tales, we invite you to reflect on your own journey, embrace the community around you, and recognize the incredible strength that comes from the support and kindness of others. Join us for an episode that's more than just a conversation; it's a celebration of the human spirit in the world of tech.Support the show
