10 years ago, I wrote a song as a love letter to Silicon Valley. It's not just my story, it's the testimony and celebration of SO many developers around the world.

"Coderitis".

Recently, I re-recorded a LIVE version of this song, along with a performance visual. Lmk in the comments below if you like it!

Cheers to all the awesome developers out there! 🥂

Be sure to RT for reach, and tag 3 devs you know that have that Coderitis! Haha! 😜😊🙌🏾✨

And – Happy Birthday to ME! 💕🙏🏾✨🎈 #Coderitis

Yesterday before my family ate Thanksgiving dinner, we went to donate warm clothing and spent time at a local homeless shelter.

It literally brought tears to my eyes because not many people know that me and my family were once homeless. For months we slept in my mom’s car.

I had just come back to LA after moving to teaching Obj-C & #Swift at a popular coding school (yes, I was already working in tech). After that I hit a dry spell in freelancing, and for months I would go to Starbucks everyday for WiFi to study for technical interviews after we dropped my sister off to her high school every morning.

Just before I came back to LA, I had a vision and took on leading a hackathon in DTLA. And then life hit me fast. We had no money, no home, and every sponsorship dollar went to that hackathon.

When I say I love what I do.. when I say this is a lifestyle, not a “job” or a “title”.. when I say I LOVE MY FAMILY.. when I say I’m honored to be a vessel..

You have no idea.

This is why I don’t let anybody tell me anything about who I am. I know what I come from and I know what I represent.

I deserve it ALL. (*in my @kendricklamar voice*)

And when I think about all the hard late nights, hard work, tears, isolation, prayer..

I also think about all the blessings that have come from this level of passion and tenacity, all the people around the world that we’ve had a chance to touch, love, teach, and inspire and all the things God has allowed us to do, and the positions He has continued put us in to do it.

My God. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

My journey is an ongoing testament that with faith in God (even as small as a mustard seed) and hard work — ANYTHING is possible. ✨🙏🏾💕

The story continues…
