Software Developer's Journey

#237 Laila Bougria is learning, growing and having fun

Laila placed the start of her journey in the hands of her older brothers, who showed a deep interest in seeing her grow and discover her full potential. One of them gave her her first computer and unknowingly set her on the path she is on today. We then talked about how she wanted to become a teacher but went for computer science instead. We discussed communities and public speaking. Laila shared tragic family stories, which led us to speak about mindfulness, bringing your entire self, and the entanglement of life and work. And we finished by talking about being a sponge. Along the way, she shared one piece of advice after the other, so be sure to listen in closely!
