E144 | How a Black Single Mom Living in a Shelter Became a Documentation Engineer–Brittney Ball
Manage episode 358518873 series 3252769
She attempted to go to college. But Brittney Ball’s mom couldn’t afford it, so she dropped out. She went on to work in retail and any other odd jobs she could find to do. At 5 months pregnant, she was living in a shelter.
Determined to not become another Black Single-mom “statistic”, Brittney’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a great example of how to not be defined by our circumstances in life.
Listen in as Brittney tells Jonaed about how:
* The YearUp program, YouTube and Linda.com got her in the tech space
* Networking with others in tech helped her career
* She got hired by Meta (formerly FaceBook)
Remember, Brittney overcame significant challenges, with the right mindset and willingness to work hard, so can you.
