Ingride Ngaku

Deeply curious about African and multi-cultural prosperity through intentional lifestyle and resource alignment. I happen to work in software engineering (my fulfilling 9-5) and am currently pursuing a non-technical Master's degree from Purdue University.I crave autonomy and agency as I head into my 30s and think about what it means to uphold my values and pass down generational experiences through new and meaningful pursuits 🩷 in a hyper-online, algorithm-driven society. From traumatic experiences in STEM magnet programs to building the (seemingly invisible) life I need without permission, external validation, nor aesthetic perfection.Discovering an unmatched version of an American/ global citizen dream with my partner. Honestly don’t remember anything that happened >5 years ago. You can chase your own ambitions (not that of others). There’s no blueprint. You have to create one— and keep it for yourself 🔑.“Do what nature requires. […] And don’t look around to see if people will know about it.” - Marcus Aurelius
