"Let's Get Personal, Personal, Let's get PERSONAAAAAALLL!

This blog is a love letter and personal safe space for all my favorite things: professional development, being a woman of color in cybersecurity and tech, and some personal passions (video games and kpop).  If I saw a blog or a perspective like this when I was younger, I would've come into my own a lot sooner.  Now that I'm here, I'm not going back!  

So let's have a little fun." - Alexis
