Checkout Victoria's Secret Model Epic Reply to Haters
Sep 13, 2018
People generally have a perception that models cannot be much qualified when it comes to academics. Recently, Lyndsey Scott proved it wrong! She has qualified courses in both Theater and Computer Science and is now the first African-American model to work with Calvin Klein. The model is also among the top iOS responders on Stack Overflow. She was recently trolled by men as they couldn’t digest that a successful model can also be an equally successful coder. While people questioned her abilities, she had an epic reply for them.
She had earlier appeared at a Victoria’s Secret show after which people got to know her qualifications and could not digest it:
Here is what she replied:
Looking forward to the day when women in tech don’t have to go above and beyond to prove themselves. ???? pic.twitter.com/MFe3RcKWKx

The only prescription is... more feminism! https://t.co/foOwNSYE0T

Having worked in the field for 20 yrs, things will never change. Men call and ask for Michael because a Michelle could never help fix the problem #womenofscience https://t.co/kGxv5ZYLEW

This so much. I'm so glad I've a very supportive environment and great colleagues, but it's not always been great.

We need more diversity in IT, we need everyone to have an opportunity, we need different perspectives, we need to break boundaries, we need it years ago. https://t.co/WaJBfrFZi6
As a computergeek labtechnician who made the switch to be years ago, it never ceases to amaze me how exhausting it is, having to prove myself to men who know even less about our systems than I do https://t.co/OWiY9AAuBV

I'm inspired by this lady. I am a model and can code in C++ , C# , Python and R. It really isn't rocket science for society to start believing that women can do it all! #Model #Coder https://t.co/WfCmwegm3d
