Welcome back to another episode of Tech Woke! I'm your host, Christopher Okpala, and today we talk about the world of cybersecurity with our special guest, Davon. Having supported our podcast and community for a long time, Davon is now on the cusp of launching his career in cybersecurity. In this episode, we discuss his background growing up in Washington, D.C., his work history, including his transition from a government custodian to aiming for a role in cloud-based technologies within cybersecurity.
Davon shares his personal battle with sickle cell anemia and how he's overcome those challenges. We'll break down the steps and strategies Davon is taking to get into the field, the importance of certifications, and how to leverage transferable skills.
If you're looking to break into the field yourself, this episode is filled with valuable insights and actionable advice how to start your cybersecurity journey with no experience.
