Thinking like an analyst is less about tools (Excel, Python, Power BI) and more of a disciplined way of reasoning.

Let’s break it down into a practical mental model you can actually apply.

Hi women, can you post pictures or talk about your academic achievements? I need some motivation this month.

If you see this tweet, share it so women can see it.

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

@charlkyshine I studied in Kenya

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

@AkanimohEkott It's my pleasure

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

@TumiNkosi @mduduzi_mbada29 Thankyou darling

@HonitelHQ Only thing boarding school didn't take from me is eating slowly. I don't eat fast but everything else is 100%

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

@Oluwanifemi109 Yes, mostly

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

Data analysts,
What is that one industry certification that can set one apart as a career analyst? And I'm not talking about Google Data analytics for job entry. An actual gold standard for analysts like the way Cp3p is for PMs and construction professionals

[Firstname_Aklo @Your21stMan]

@femininow For career analysts—distinct from entry-level data roles—the certification widely regarded as the gold standard is the Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) from the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).

@AkanimohEkott Congratulations on your BSc. The beauty of a Maths degree is that you have plenty of options. Take your time and pick where your heart feels the most joy.

[Dylan O'Sullivan @DylanoA4]

Your brain will invent fake problems for you if you don't go out and find real ones

[TheDataJoy© @joyouscami]

@AkanimohEkott BSc was more of a generalized degree and my time was split between the Mathematics and Computer Science subjects. BSc Hons was highly specialized with a deeper dive on the core subjects and research.

[DataBender @Yinkaoke]

Really proud of all you women with plenty degrees and I have huge respect for y'all. Also proud of myself and my singular Lautech 'Strong 2:1' BSc.
