Asante's Story My interest in coding began unexpectedly when I stumbled upon a free online tutorial while browsing the internet. I was curious about how websites and apps were created. The idea that I could learn to build something from scratch fascinated me. I clicked through the tutorial and found myself captivated by the logic and creativity involved in coding. As I followed along, I enjoyed seeing my work come to life, even if it was just a simple webpage. I loved experimenting with different designs and seeing how small changes in the code could transform the entire look and feel of my project. It felt like unlocking a new superpower! I also discovered resources like YouTube and coding platforms, which made learning accessible and engaging. The supportive online communities I encountered motivated me even more. I realized that coding is not just about writing lines of code; it’s about problem-solving and bringing ideas to fruition. This initial spark drove me to explore coding further, and I’m excited to dive deeper into this world with opportunities like SheCodes. I can't wait to see where this journey will take me!

🙋‍♀️ Asante's Motivation

My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a deep desire to bridge the gap between creativity and technology. Growing up, I was always fascinated by how digital tools could transform ideas into reality. However, I often felt limited by my lack of technical skills. Joining SheCodes represents a unique opportunity to empower myself with coding knowledge, allowing me to express my ideas more fully and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems. Additionally, SheCodes' supportive community of women in tech is inspiring. It fosters an environment where collaboration thrives, making learning less intimidating and more enjoyable. I believe that acquiring coding skills will not only enhance my career prospects but also enable me to contribute positively to my community. I envision using my coding abilities to create projects that promote social good, whether that’s through educational platforms or applications that address local issues. Ultimately, this journey is about more than just coding; it’s about gaining confidence and finding my voice in a predominantly male-dominated field. I am excited to embrace this challenge, grow alongside other aspiring developers, and embark on a fulfilling career in technology.

🤹‍♀️ Asante's Hobbies

I have a diverse range of hobbies that inspire me. I’m passionate about photography, capturing moments in nature and with friends.

The Delac Foundation Mission

Women hold only 25% of coding jobs and earn 30% less than men. In many developing countries, over 65% of women lack bank accounts, making it difficult to invest in their education.

The Delac Foundation is changing that. We provide women in developing countries with free coding education, equipping them with the skills to build a better future. In partnership with SheCodes, we offer training in product development, design, and management, empowering women to thrive in the tech industry.
