From Sudan to Silicon Valley: Beyond the Resume
“I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere. Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here.” — Taylor Swift — This is me…

This was inspiring.
“Despite these setbacks, I found other ways to make an impact. During Sudan’s revolution, I ran a social media campaign that raised $10,000 to send top AI students from Sudan to a major AI conference in Africa. Many are now making strides at companies like Google, Meta, and Silicon Valley startups. By my final semesters, though, the struggle caught up with me — I was barely getting through. I left academia with two workshop papers and two Ph.D. offers in hand.”
