About
Our Story
At the heart of every great mission lies a personal journey, and ours begins with a profound and inspiring tale of passion, dedication, and transformation. Our founder, Wendy Amexo, has always been deeply influenced by her mother’s unwavering commitment to lifelong learning. Growing up, Wendy witnessed first-hand her mother’s enthusiasm for education, especially as a mother who went to pursue a degree later in life.
As Wendy navigated her own professional journey, she experienced a significant career transition into the tech industry. This pivotal change not only reshaped her career but also deepened her understanding of the transformative power of mentorship. Over countless conversations held around her kitchen table with a laptop and over Zoom, Wendy provided one-on-one guidance to aspiring tech professionals, helping them unlock their potential and pursue careers they once thought impossible.
These heartfelt mentoring sessions, where each story was met with encouragement and practical advice, revealed a critical need for structured support and accessible opportunities in the tech field. Driven by this revelation and her mother’s legacy, Wendy envisioned a platform that could amplify the impact of such personal connections on a larger scale.
Thus, our organization was born—a testament to the belief that everyone deserves the chance to succeed and grow, no matter where they start. We are dedicated to fostering a community where passion meets opportunity, and where every individual is empowered to reach their fullest potential.
Our mission is more than just a continuation of Wendy’s personal journey; it is a call to action for partners and those who share our vision of a more equitable and inclusive future. Together, we can bridge gaps, ignite potential, and transform lives. Join us in turning inspiration into action and creating a legacy of impact that will resonate for generations to come.
