One of my mentees, Elizabeth Ekedoro, received a scholarship to attend the Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) conference in Dallas, Texas.

Her scholarship does not cover airfare, and Lizzie needs to fly from Lagos, Nigeria (LOS) to Dallas, Texas (DFW) to attend this event she worked so hard to qualify for.

I became her mentor through the CyberSafe Foundation’s CyberGirls program a few years ago. Elizabeth Ekedoro is deserving of this scholarship and is a rising star in African cybersecurity.

Please help to make the WiCyS 2025 conference a reality for her by helping with her fundraising campaign. It would really me a lot to her, of course, but also to me. Thank you!
