In this episode, we sit down with Tennisha Martin — founder of BlackGirlsHack and a leading voice in cybersecurity — to break down exactly what it takes to get into the field.

We go beyond generic advice and dive deep into the real, hands-on projects that can actually get you hired. Tennisha shares her personal journey, how she transitioned into cybersecurity, and the specific types of labs, capture-the-flag challenges, and threat modeling exercises that hiring managers pay attention to.

Whether you're just starting out or trying to switch careers, this conversation will show you how to build a skills-first portfolio that gets results.
