Q1: Give us a general experience with Miss Africa sponsored AboCoders training and how your digital skills were enhanced

Q2: How did the Miss Africa sponsored AboCoders training enhance your perceptions of the involvement of women in technology

Q3: Give us a professional instance during your training that remains a landmark in your career profession
Joy: One major landmark is my experience learning under one of our trainers, Miss Bukola. Her teaching skills have really boosted my interest in technology and I believe my encounter with her will remain with me for a long time. She teaches well and I hope that one day, I will as well be able to teach other women in the industry.
Q4: Outline your take on the future of women technology in Africa
Joy: I think women are going to do very well in technology in Africa. Even now, they already are taking the forefront.
