Does this sound like someone you know?I know this is how I felt,as a Black Man studying computer science. I always felt just behind my coding peers.I felt that I even didn’t belong in this space because of the color of my skin.

Now this isn’t about racism.

Because the people I’ve met in my journey have been some of the nicest people ever.

But this was more of a self sabotage that kept my skills from reaching their potential.

Once, I took the effort to better myself by taking a coding bootcamp on the side of my computer science degree.

My entire life changed, I no longer had this feeling of imposter syndrome that I didn’t belong.

I proved it to myself that I can do this.

And if you have a similar feeling this is your sign to start.

That’s all from me,

Jameel.

PS: if you seriously are considering a change in your career or want to get into coding comment “PLAN” and I’ll dm you and help you with creating a plan based off your circumstances.
