  • Can Technology Really Save Us From Poverty

    Can technology really save us from poverty?

    We hear it all the time:

    Learn tech. Get a remote job. Start a business. Change your life.
    And yes, technology has opened doors that many of us never had before.

    But access isn't equal.

    Not everyone has the laptop, internet, money, connections, mentorship or time to take advantage of those opportunities.

    So I’m asking:

    Can technology really create a way out of poverty or are we sometimes just giving people a front-row seat to opportunities they still can't afford to access?
    In this episode of Tech With Myla, we’re looking at both sides poverty, technology, AI, digital access, children, women in tech and business, and the question of whether where you start should determine where you finish.

    Because I believe something strongly:

    Poverty can write a path for you, but it doesn't have to write the ending.
    The sky has enough space for everyone. 🌍💻

  • 🎙️ When Life Gives You No Options, You Create One

    🎙️ When Life Gives You No Options, You Create One

    Not everyone gets the same opportunities in life. My guest lost both of her parents at a young age and had to take responsibility for her younger siblings. She later moved to Ghana, started her own salon, and found ways to build a life with what she had.

    From using social media to promote her salon to selling clothes online, her story shows how determination, entrepreneurship, and technology can come together to create new possibilities.

    In this episode of Tech With Myla, we talk about resilience, women, opportunity, business, and using the tools available to you to create your own path.

    Sometimes, you don't get the opportunity you want. You create one. ❤️

  • Why I Started Tech With Myla

    Why I Started Tech With Myla

    What happens when life forces you to rethink the path you thought you were on?

    In this first episode, I share the real story behind Tech With Myla, from studying Business Information Systems and walking away from the corporate world, to starting a computer hardware business, facing health challenges, discovering the world of Virtual Assistance, and eventually realizing just how much can be possible when technology removes the limits of location.

    I'll also talk about something that has stayed with me while travelling across Africa: the opportunities women are exposed to and the opportunities many never get to see.

    This isn't a “I've figured it all out” story.

    I'm still figuring it out too.

    But maybe that's exactly why we should have this conversation.

    🎙️ Welcome to Tech With Myla.

    Come figure it out with me.

  • Welcome to Tech with Myla

    What if one conversation could change the direction of your career? Welcome to Tech With Myla, a podcast created to inspire and empower African women to break into tech, without believing they need to code or have an IT degree.

    In this first episode, I share my heart, my mission, and why I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to build a fulfilling career in tech. This is more than a podcast; it's the beginning of a movement.
