In this exciting episode, I feature my very first guest on the podcast, my friend and colleague Mrs Abigail Katongo! She is such an inspiration and a powerhouse in the field of Data Science.

In this session, we discuss what initially drew her attention to data science, how she began her journey in data science, what the field is all about, and what skills are the most important in this field. She also tells us of the struggles she has gone through being a woman in the field and how she has managed to overcome these struggles with determination and intent.

Most of all, she presents sincere positive words of encouragement to women thinking about pursuing a career in data science but do not know how to jump into it because they feel intimidated or scared.

If you are already in STEM, or are thinking of becoming a data scientist, or maybe you just need a role model to believe that you can also do it, I know you will find this episode inspiring and exciting! Tune in and be inspired.
