Summary

Myoshia Boykin-Anderson has had an incredible journey that led her to found her company AndTech Solutions in 2009. As a mother with no savings and no college degree, she was laid off from her corporate job and vowed to never put herself in that position again. Myoshia launched AndTech and it has grown into a seven-figure consulting firm providing custom application development and other technology services to some of the top organizations in the country. In our conversation, we discuss how, as a double minority, she overcame barriers to starting a thriving business in the field of tech, the inspiration born out of being a young, single mother and memories of her childhood classmate in Houston, Texas, George Floyd.
