“Coming from a background in tourism management, I initially felt overwhelmed when I started my cybersecurity journey through the CyberGirls Fellowship. The challenges were daunting, but the CyberGirls mantra provided by the CyberSafe Foundation kept me grounded: ‘I am a doer with a genius intellect. I am a CyberGirl.’
“This mantra was more than just words; it became my anchor. It reminded me that I am knowledgeable, resilient, and excellent. That I am a fountain of value, an ardent problem solver, and a voracious learner. It told me that nothing is too difficult for me to master.”
“Joining the CyberGirls Fellowship was a game-changer. For seven months, I dove into hands-on cybersecurity training. The mentors there saw potential in me that I hadn’t even recognized in myself.”
“Complex security problems tested my resolve, and I often doubted if I was on the right path. But each time, I repeated my mantra. It reminded me of my strength and determination.”
“Now, as a security engineer, I look back with immense gratitude. The CyberSafe Foundation didn’t just give me skills; they transformed my life. They showed me that with the right support and mindset, I could achieve anything.”
“So, to anyone feeling lost or overwhelmed, remember this: Believe in yourself. Be the fountain of value and a relentless problem solver. With resilience and determination, no obstacle is too great.”
“Thank you, CyberSafe Foundation, for believing in me and helping me realize my potential. I am proud to be a CyberGirl.”
CyberGirls Fellowship is Africa’s largest #cybersecurity training and mentorship program for women. An initiative of CyberSafe Foundation
