How I Pivoted Into Tech As A Black Woman Ft. La'China Barnes
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In today’s episode, we sit down with entrepreneur, author, creative, and tech professional La’China Barnes — also known as “sotechnicallyspeaking” on IG — for a raw conversation about reinvention, career pivots, identity, confidence, and what it really looks like to evolve in real time.
From writing books like:
📖 From College Girl to Stripper… I Mean Entrepreneur
📖 Fck It, I Got The Job: The Silver Lining in Going Backwards*
…to stepping into tech, project management, creative direction, and publicly navigating growth, La’China opens up about the pressure of starting over, imposter syndrome, dating while evolving, and learning how to work with her neurodivergent brain instead of against it.
We discuss:
✨ Reinventing yourself without shame
✨ Pivoting into tech as a Black woman
✨ ADHD & entrepreneurship
✨ “Going backwards” to move forward
✨ Building confidence publicly
✨ Dating during seasons of growth
✨ Healing, identity & standing on business
✨ Turning uncertainty into intention
This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt behind, underestimated, or afraid to start over.
Because growth sounds beautiful… until you actually have to live through it.
