    Wrong, Latino is not a race. All black in Latin America came from Africa like your ancestors. The difference between you and me is the language, in the matter of fact, the majority of us came from West Africa to Cuba and then sold to the different colonies. Why do we speak different anguages? because of the difference between all the colonialists, some were French, Spaniards, Portuguese, British, and from Holland. So when you see a Black or a white accent, in America's I tell you is the same history as Kunta kinte.

It's incredible how determination and the right support can turn dreams into reality, especially in tech. Tolu's story is a powerful reminder that with no experience or degree, barriers can still be broken. It gives me a lot of hope and motivation to pursue a career in technology (Creative Industry). The emphasis on community and actionable advice resonates deeply. Tolu's makes me believe that change is possible with the right mindset and resources. Thank you for sharing this goldmine of inspiration. I'm certainly looking into making my own leap into tech. And Thank you Tech is the New Black for this exposure.

    This interview here what an extreme blessing. This is a testimony of God’s Favor. God had Mr. Tolu come over to the United States so he could share his testimony of having a developed relationship with Christ, and a brother from the church motivated him to get into the Cybersecurity industry and how it transformed his life, God has definitely blessed his life. To God Be All The Glory. This interview is definitely bringing motivation to those of us that are wanting to pursue into this industry, let me not forget with no degree and no college. I do believe in God, Prayer life, Real relationship with Christ, he will blow your mind. It’s Only Up From Here☝️. More Grace to Everyone🙏

    Kenyan here! I just got into Cybersecurity and enrolled on a booth camp this year, it is not easy tbh especially while working a full-time job but I keep pushing. I can strongly relate to Tolu's story. Am also glad I came across a faith-based tech channel, you just earned a new subscriber.
