Itumeleng's Story My interest in coding developed gradually over time. Working as a Talent Acquisition Specialist for eight years, I often came across tech roles and noticed how in-demand coding skills were. This made me curious about how software and digital solutions are built. Beyond that, I’ve always enjoyed creativity—whether it’s creating videos or exploring digital content. I started looking into how websites and applications work, which led me to discover coding. The idea of writing code that can bring ideas to life and solve real-world problems really intrigued me. Now that I have the time to focus on learning and development, I see this as the perfect opportunity to dive into coding and gain hands-on experience. I’m excited to challenge myself, build new skills, and explore the possibilities that coding offers

🙋‍♀️ Itumeleng's Motivation

With eight years of experience as a Talent Acquisition Specialist, I have seen firsthand how technology is reshaping industries and the job market. Recently, I was part of a restructuring process, which led to a career transition. While I’m currently unemployed, I’m not actively looking for a job—instead, I want to take this time to invest in myself, develop new skills, and explore different opportunities. Coding has always intrigued me because of its ability to bring ideas to life and solve real-world problems. I also enjoy creating videos and digital content, and learning to code will allow me to explore new ways to merge creativity with technology. SheCodes stands out to me because of its structured learning, hands-on projects, and supportive community. I believe this is the perfect environment to build a strong foundation in coding, and I’m excited to take on this challenge as part of my personal and professional growth journey.

🤹‍♀️ Itumeleng's Hobbies

I love learning new things, whether it’s through online courses, reading, or just experimenting with creative projects. Lately, I’ve been pushing myself to grow by exploring different skills, which is why coding feels like such an exciting challenge. When I’m not learning something new, I like to unwind by watching interesting documentaries, discovering new music, or having deep, thought-provoking conversations. I enjoy anything that sparks creativity and makes me see the world from a different perspective.

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.
