So Shall We?
We sat down with Naomi Williams, the COO of Black Girls in Tech Nigeria (BGIT), to talk about what it means to rewrite Nigeria’s tech future.
In a raw and honest conversation, Naomi shared why young girls need to be educated for Nigeria’s digital revolution.
She spoke openly about the realities of being a Black woman in tech and why women should never feel the need to shrink themselves to succeed.
Naomi also broke down what true inclusion looks like and called for broader access to digital education across Nigeria. She reminded us that real change starts with showing up, speaking up, and building community.
