Annah Ayanda's Story I first became interested in coding when I realized how much technology impacts our everyday lives. Whether it’s using apps, browsing websites, or interacting with smart devices, I started to see how coding is behind almost everything we use. The idea that I could learn to create these tools and potentially build something that others might use or find helpful really sparked my interest. Additionally, I’ve always enjoyed problem-solving and thinking logically, and coding seemed like a natural fit for these interests. The more I learned about the endless possibilities coding offers—from creating websites to developing apps—the more intrigued I became. It’s exciting to think that with the right skills, I could turn my ideas into reality.
My motivation for learning how to code with SheCodes stems from a desire to empower myself with the skills to create and innovate in today’s digital world. As technology increasingly shapes our lives, I want to be an active participant in this transformation rather than a passive observer. Learning to code will give me the tools to build solutions, solve problems, and bring my ideas to life. Additionally, SheCodes offers a supportive and inclusive environment, which is important to me as I embark on this journey. The community and structured learning path make the process less intimidating and more enjoyable. Ultimately, I want to use coding not only to advance my career but also to inspire others, especially women, to pursue opportunities in tech.
In my free time, I enjoy a mix of creative and active hobbies. I love exploring new places, whether it's hiking in nature or discovering hidden gems in the city. Being outdoors and staying active helps me recharge and stay inspired. I also have a passion for design and decor, which I often express through DIY projects and decorating spaces. It’s rewarding to transform a space and see the impact that thoughtful design can have on the atmosphere and functionality. When I’m looking to relax, I enjoy reading books, especially on topics related to personal development and creativity. I also like experimenting in the kitchen, trying out new recipes and cuisines. These hobbies not only bring me joy but also inspire my work and personal growth.
