Time for some ✨ nostalgia ✨
A decade ago, I was convinced that, like most Black people in tech, capitalism was the most reliable means of moving out of poverty. I was sold that working hard, throwing yourself at the machine on the behest of someone "wiser" was the way. So I picked up to Zero to One, grinded and got invited to apply for The Thiel Fellowship.
Then I met him.
I met a lot of people here (some of which ended up making some stuff like Figma).
