Old vs the New for Caribbean Girls in ICT

Ingrid Riley, April 23, 2020August 29, 2020

Old Mindset

Wait your turn. Wait to be picked.

Swallow what you really wanted to say. Don’t ruffle any feathers.

Let whatever he said to you slide for a peaceful Life.

Let what other people think factor into every decision you make. 

Let that imposter syndrome run your life. Go solo.

Stay on the beaten path.

Follow everyone else’s rules.

Small up yourself. 

New Mindset 

Choose Your Damn self.

Speak Your Mind Regardless of which room you’re in and who’s in it.

Be flamboyantly yourself.

Have difficult conversations and come out on the other side.

Do only what feels right for you. Always choose the fresh adventure.

Don’t care what other people think.

Break Those Rules and Make Your Own.

Find your tribe and make them fuel you.

Embrace the fringes and blaze your own trail.

TAKE UP SPACE.

The New Mindset is what I’d like to see more of from Caribbean Women in Tech And the young girls who want to enter the industry

Happy Girls in ICT Day! From this me, a Jamaican woman who’s been taking up space for over 15 years.
