Miss Brandy Morgan is excited to be on this platform and is looking forward to sharing her experiences as a developer and designer who has been freelancing for some time now. She mentions that she's also been asking about bringing her friend, Deb, onto the show to talk more about his work in JavaScript.

Brandy shares that she started out in digital marketing, but after experiencing a lot of pain around her work, she decided to learn how to code herself as a way to overcome those challenges. She talks about how she left her job and jumped into college to pursue coding skills, which were specialized at the time.

After completing her education, Brandy began taking on freelance projects and eventually landed full-time jobs as a developer. However, she emphasizes that it wasn't always easy for her to value her own worth and expertise as a developer, especially when faced with imposter syndrome. She shares that she would sometimes feel like she didn't think she was good enough or capable of handling certain projects.

Despite these feelings, Brandy attributes much of her success to the power of relationships in her career. She credits one full-time job that led to another, and a freelance project that came from a connection made by her husband knowing someone at the startup. She highlights how these relationships have helped her build a strong foundation for her business.

Brandy also stresses the importance of soft skills for developers, many of whom are introverted and undervalue their own abilities in this area. She believes that having a stronger sense of self-worth and being able to effectively communicate with others has been key to her success as a developer.
