A mother who had to pull herself up, Isa put herself thru college, fought microaggressions just to validate her existence and the space she occupied (in tech and living in SF). Isa now works as an activist in the same neighborhood she grew up in as an inner city youth. A late bloomer who realized they had untapped skills, she used tech to rise above an undesirable status quo, integrated tech into her entrepreneurship and turned her passion into profit.
