Mother’s Day is this weekend. If you’re out of ideas we found an awesome directory our friends at Tallahassee Foodies made. Speaking of mothers, CEO of Code Wiz told her story of growing up in Nigeria and how she learned how to code in pursuit of education to escape the genocidal environment. Btw, we are frequently bumping into subscribers telling us how much CityClips is helping them and reading on a daily basis. Our co-founders started discussing the idea of CityClips in March 2023 and published our 1st issue 10 months ago on Aug. 1st, ‘23. We would love to hear how our content help you and would love to reshare with the community.
