<translate> This situation I found even when I graduated and joined a job, where my first job was in an internet service company, people would often be surprised to see a woman climbing towers and repairing networks. Thats when I decided that issues of technology and gender are important to me and as a woman in this industry I have to try to impress many and let them know that technology is genderless. In 2016 working with fellow women who were working in various fields of science and technology we formed the TechChix group. We spent a lot of time encouraging women and girls not to be afraid of the science and technology industry. Our work became known and this enabled us as a group to win the Queen of Power award in 2018. <swh>Hii hali niliikuta hata nilipohitimu na kujiunga na kazi, ambapo kazi yangu ya kwanza ilikuwa katika kampuni ya kutoa huduma ya intaneti, mara nyingi watu wangeshangaa kumuona mwanamke anapanda minara na kuwarekebishia mitandao. Hapo ndipo nilipoamua kuwa maswala ya teknolojia na jinsia ni muhimu kwangu na kama mwanamke katika sekta hii inanipasa kujaribu kuwavuta wengi na kuwajuza kuwa teknolojia haina jinsia. Mnamo mwaka 2016 nikishirikiana na wanawake wenzangu waliokuwa wakifanya kazi katika sekta mbalimbali za sayansi na teknolojia tulianzisha kikundi cha TechChix. Tulitumia muda mwingi kuhamasisha wanawake na wasichana kutoogopa sekta ya sayansi na teknolojia. Kazi zetu zilipata kujulikana na hili likatuwezesha kama kundi kushinda tuzo la Queen of Power mnamo mwaka 2018.
