Quote

"Becoming a Member of Baddies in Tech was the best thing that happened to me last year. Coming from a non-technical background I started out with zero direction but thanks to this amazing community, I not only received resources and advice from fellow Baddies but also a full ride scholarship to study Web Development with one of BiT’s partner institutions. I’m so happy because in a few months I’ll fulfill my dream of becoming a Web Developer!" -Wilhelmina Tetteh
