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

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.
