The CodeNewbie podcast was born from CodeNewbie, an organization which fosters a supportive, international community of people learning to code. Each season, host Saron Yitbarek delivers stories and interviews from people of diverse backgrounds and expertise about their coding journeys, as well as beginner friendly discussions about the tech you should know about.

Ep. 12 - Mother Coders (Tina Lee)
When it was time for lunch, the other students gathered to eat and get to know each other while Tina Lee searched for a place to nurse her baby. The only one she found in the coding workshop was the cold, dark, filthy room where the company's developers slept - at least that's what it looked like. And so she sat and nursed, frustrated that in a workshop that was meant to be inclusive, she still felt very much alone. So she started Mother Coders, the tech education program designed for mothers who want to gain technical skills. We talk about the challenges of being a mom learning to code, how organizers can make their tech events more mom-friendly, and how to make coding more accessible to all mothers.
