This week on the podcast we are in Kenya, specifically a town called Mariakani which is about 2 hours away from Mombasa. I am speaking to a young lady who has defied the odds and pursued her dream of fixing problems with her coding skills. She codes about 100 hours a week but that doesn’t stop her from being an avid reader and writer. She read 58 books in 2021 and has been a consistent writer of technical articles, newspaper content, blogs and much more. She is also the author of the book 'Of Scattered Tears' which is available on Amazon. When Mr. Fred Swaniker; Founder of African Leadership Academy spoke to her in 2021, he called it “The most inspiring conversation I’ve had this year”. Firdaus H. Salim is our guest on the podcast this week and she shares how and why she does all these hard things. Social Media LinkedIn: Firdaus H.
