I think that Tech might be Our Way out of Poverty." — Blessing Abeng

"Tech is a leveler. It doesn’t care about your age, race, gender, country, or anything like that. It only cares about your skills… You just have to start.” On democratizing access to technology education."

"I grew up wanting to be a medical doctor because I wanted to save lives, and I am doing that now, but not in the hospital."

"Tech is showing a new perspective on the African continent, showing how amazing and talented our people are as opposed to the general opinion of us as a poverty-stricken continent."

"I didn’t grow up thinking there was anything I couldn’t do."

"I just want to be sure that I’m a catalyst no matter what I’m doing."

"Seeing people’s lives change or watching them be just a little bit better is very inspiring for me."
