#26 Is Your Age Your Superpower?

Lella Violet Halloum is award-winning young changemaker ✊ technologist 👩🏻‍💻 & public speaker 🌍 She believes that no decision about her generation — the digital generation — should be made without them. She's working alongside volunteers aged 13-25 from the UK and Ireland who will ensure the voices of girls, young women and non-binary young people are heard. At the end of our conversation, when the camera was off, Lella said: "I'd rather be famous for who I am, not just an 18years old, who did something..." She is unapologetically herself and you can feel Lella's passion throughout the conversation! I had to ask, what role her parents played to create this natural curiosity towards technology: "I learned to see tech as this creative powerhouse and as something which has great potential to unite people". She's the youngest IBM Z Champion and we talked about mentors and what characteristics someone needs to have to be successful in tech industry?
