What's In A Name?

01.
An Ideology
Much of who I am has shaped much of what I do and how I do it. Tech It Like A Girl is no different. Growing up, I was always encouraged to do things my way. Being as resourceful as possible and using what you have and know to figure out that which you don’t was par for the course.

In this vein, Tech It Like A Girl speaks to embodying an innovative, resourceful, and solutions-driven approach to navigating modern technology.

Being Jamaican
If you are familiar with Jamaican Creole, then you will readily see the connection between the short-form of the word technology (tech) and the phonology of the Creole word ‘tek’ (meaning to take). Add to that, the reality that the phrase ‘take it like a man’ is often offered up as a show of strength and you will have unpacked another layer of the choice behind the name.

The unique approach of women is in its own way a strength albeit different from that of a man. I propose, that we can also navigate technology ‘taking/techin’ it like a girl.

It's A 'Girl' Thing
Finally, I enjoy and celebrate the differences in men and women. I find that the uniqueness of our approaches when we are both allowed to share them at any table results in finding balanced solutions. Unfortunately, however, in the wonderful world of technology not enough perspectives held by women are brought to the table. Simply put, the industry is a male-dominated one.

Underrepresentation can result in important perspectives being left out in the design and function of modern technologies and its tools.

Mindset Shift
All in all, the goal of Tech It Like A Girl is to ensure that technology serves as the adjunct to our lives and work that makes it better. In an increasingly digitally-reliant world, it is important to ensure that tech tools are placed in their proper place. We all need to build a healthier relationship with technology as we continue to advance in power, capabilities, and convenience.

Founder's Perspective

The need for us all to become more technologically-resourceful is the inescapable reality of an increasingly digitally-responsive world. Yet, many of us lack the resources to do so in a healthy, effective, and essentially holistic way.  This is where the work of the Tech It Like A Girl initiative comes in.

Tech It Like A Girl was designed to bring FREEmium-to-access resources, tools, and tips to anyone and everyone so they can make the best use of the technology in their lives. The goal is to use technological resources while remaining grounded in our real lives and without becoming lost in, and overwhelmed by, virtual realities. 

It is my prayer that through this initiative your digital experiences will be significantly improved and become a positive adjunct to your real lives.

As our world becomes more technologically-reliant, it is the duty of those of us who are knowledgeable in the field to provide perspective and context to users and help support them as they climb the digital curve.
