I've grown so much through @SheCodeAfrica , sharing this opportunity with our ladies in Owerri as @SCA_owerri Chapter Lead is the first in giving back.

Her journey into design began on a smartphone, where even the smallest task often felt slow, tedious, and frustrating.

In Q1 of 2026, we set out to bring the Laptop Scholarship to women across Abuja, Bayelsa, Osun, and Enugu States, and Angel was one of those lucky women, now she can move on to UI/UX with more ease and confidence.

Don’t let your limitations become walls that cage your creativity.

JUST IN..ONE OF THE ABDUCTED SCHOOL CHILDREN GONE..

Sadly, one of the abducted schoolchildren kidnapped in Oyo State, Ahoro Esinele, has reportedly died.

Days ago, photos of her in captivity showed she was already seriously ill. Last night, the kidnappers reportedly appeared on a TikTok live stream and announced her death, telling her mother they no longer had her child.

They may not have used a weapon, but captivity killed her. The hunger, beatings, cold nights, fear, and terrible conditions were too much for her young body to survive.

Her heartbroken mother said through tears: “I knew it. She was not very strong. On the day they were abducted, she only managed to go to school. Unfortunately, she never returned home.”

No parent should ever experience the pain of a child leaving for school and never coming back alive.

Another innocent life has been lost. Another family has been shattered.

Sometimes growth isn't always about talent or determination, sometimes, it's about access.

Meet Chukwudo Adazion Princess, an aspiring Data Analyst.
To continue building her skills, she often had to rely on borrowed laptops. While she remained committed to learning and growing, the inconsistency made it difficult to build momentum and pursue opportunities with the independence she desired.

As a beneficiary of the She Code Africa Laptop Scholarship Program earlier this year, Princess is finally able to build her career with the consistency she's always wanted.

[She Code Africa @SheCodeAfrica]

We're excited to announce the beneficiaries of the She Code Africa Q2 Laptop Scholarship Program! 💃🥳💓

Congratulations to our selected beneficiaries. We hope this support creates more room for learning, building, and growth.

While we could not support every applicant this cycle, our commitment remains the same; to continue creating pathways that make technology more accessible for women and girls across Africa.

Thank you to everyone who applied and to our partner @HP for helping us continue expanding access for women in tech. ✨

[Ada Nduka Oyom @Kolokodess]

@odirionyeo @TiemmaBakare Finally! Congratulations!! Rooting for you in this next phase!

I initially started writing this as a rant on my story, because honestly? Some days being a woman in leadership feels biologically exhausting!

Beyond the stress or workload, so many women are navigating constant hormonal, emotional, mental, and physical fluctuations while still being expected to show up consistently, lead effectively, make smart decisions, and hold everything together.

This article is probably one of the most honest things I’ve written in a while.

I have a feeling many women, especially founders and leaders, will deeply relate to it.

If all men in the world disappeared today, humanity would still continue because of sperm banks.

However, if all women disappears today, the human race would be eradicated.

You are not superior to the gender that can carry and bring new life.

Impossible
