Akua Apeagyei is a Cloud Solution Architect at Microsoft on a degree apprenticeship programme. She's also a young carer, an award-winner and the founder of Anomalys Foundation - an Instagram community she has created to bring more young people into STEM.
In this episode, Akua talks about the source of her resilience, the importance of spotting opportunities and why education doesn't just take place in the classroom. There's also a gap year that is nothing like what most people would expect, picking up the programming language Python in a day and the magic of mentoring.
