This is a sponsored postI was in my room, stuck. I needed a career change, but I had no idea where to start. I was at that classic career crossroads, craving growth, but lacking fuel.Then, a friend tagged me in a WhatsApp status PalmPay Purple Woman 2.0: Accelerating the Future of Payments Women, AI and Fintech.I saw it and ignored it more than once. On a rough day at work, I remembered the PalmPay Purple Woman post. I went back, found the online flyer, and on a whim, I applied. I didnt expect much, honestly, but from the moment I got the call that Id been selected as one of the 100 lucky women, things started to shift. The PalmPay Purple Woman 2.0 Masterclass was packed with knowledge in three days, with a focus on digital marketing, data analysis, HR, UI/UX, and project management. I had not explored these areas before. Women leaders shared their stories. Women in tech, women balancing careers and families, women building empires. It wasnt just informative, it was deeply energising.Thats when I realised that PalmPay isnt just your average finance app enabling people to pay bills and make payments, but that PalmPay was driving financial inclusion and investing in peoples development - building real skills, exploring new territory, and unlocking new doors.That event was also part of PalmPays International Womens Day celebration. The theme Accelerate Action wasnt just a slogan; it was a reminder that women arent waiting in the wings, were already shaping the future of fintech, and platforms like PalmPay are creating the space for us to thrive.Then came the surprise announcement that only 10 participants would be selected for a six-month internship at PalmPay. With sweaty palms, a racing heart, and a dry mouth, I heard my name..number 10..I was in total disbelief. Shaky legs and all, I walked up to that stage, knowing something had changed.Now? Im three months into my internship in the marketing department, and its been nothing short of amazing.My team is brilliant. My managers genuinely care. Ive learned more than I ever expected. Every day feels like Im building towards something real. If someone had told me a year ago that Id enjoy a 95 job, I wouldve laughed. Hard.But here I am, grateful beyond words for that one post.A post I almost ignored.A post that led me to PalmPay.A post that gave me a career boost.Sometimes, saying yes to more starts with something as small as a tagged post after all.
