"Dear Future Trailblazer"


Hey, lady! 
Yeah, You—the one wondering if you accidentally wandered into the wrong universe by clicking “apply” on that tech job or googling “what the heck is a server” for the fifth time this week. 
Maybe you’re staring at a laptop screen that’s judging you with its blankness. Or maybe you’re thinking, “I’m not some tech wizard". 
I just like solving puzzles, organizing my life with pastel highlighters, and maybe bingeing a rom-com or two.
”Well, buckle up, because you?
 You’re exactly the kind of magic tech needs.
Here’s the tea: you don’t have to have a PhD or a secret handshake to belong here. 
Nobody does!
 Tech isn’t about knowing every single thing—it’s about being nosy enough to figure it out. It’s like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with half the instructions missing. 
You poke around, you break something, you laugh, and then—poof!—you’ve got a bookshelf. 
Or, you know, an app. 
Same diff and here’s the coolest part: the future’s being built right now, and women like you are the ones writing the script (or, okay, coding it—whatever, you get me).
I know, I know—tech can feel like that one party where everyone’s speaking a language you didn’t study in high school. 
People toss around words like “API” and “backend” like they’re ordering coffee, and you’re over here nodding like, “Uh-huh, totally,” while mentally planning your escape to the snack table. 
Been there. 
But here’s a little truth bomb: every single “genius” in this room started exactly where you are. 
Yup, even that guy with the fancy laptop sticker collection. They were all beginners once, Googling stuff and hoping nobody noticed. And guess what? They’re still winging it half the time.
This world’s changing, sister. It’s not perfect—sometimes it’s like trying to convince your grandma to use a smartphone—but it’s moving. 
And your voice? Your ideas? 
Your knack for seeing things differently? That’s not just a nice bonus—it’s the secret sauce we’ve been missing.
So, here’s my plea: be bold. Be loud. Be gloriously, messily you. 
Ask that question you’re scared sounds “dumb” (spoiler: it’s probably the one everyone else is too shy to ask). 
Raise your hand in that meeting, even if your palms are sweaty. 
Build something that crashes spectacularly—then rebuild it better. Wear that bright pink blazer that screams, “I’m here!” 
Write code that’s as colorful as your nail polish. 
Laugh when you accidentally delete a file (after you cry a little, because, same). 
Lead with your heart. 
And when someone tries to dim your shine? 
Oh, honey, just smile and launch something so awesome they’ll need sunglasses to look at it.
Tech’s not just a bunch of wires and screens—it’s a playground for ideas. It’s where you get to dream up stuff that doesn’t exist yet. 
A new app that makes life easier. 
A gadget that solves a problem nobody’s noticed. 
A community that lifts up other women just like you. That’s the kind of power you’re holding, and I’m so freaking excited to see what you do with it.
So go on, trailblazer. Try something today. Click a button. Write a line of code. Ask for help. Join that group chat. Share your idea, even if it’s half-baked. You’re not just part of this world—you’re reshaping it.
 And between you and me? 
I bet it’s gonna look a whole lot brighter with you in it.
With all the love, a slightly chaotic inbox, and a desk covered in cute sticky notes,

Founder of TechSheThink

P.S. You’re already killing it. 
Don’t let anyone—especially that little voice in your head—tell you otherwise.
