Last nightโs @pyladies Auction $60,000 USD fundraising goal was not only met but surpassed! Super thankful to the community for the support to empower women in #Python, to language creator Guido van Rossum for always being an advocate and champion for us, and to the many many amazing volunteers and #PyLadies who make our community that much richer!
โWe increased our numbers 3X and we could not only see each other in the room but we even got a room!โ - @kjaymiller
TLDR; we are not only here we are here for each other. PREACH!
If you identify as a Black #Python dev go join ๐๐ผ blackpythondevs.com!
Very very jazzed to hear about @kjaymiller and his work founding Black #Python Devs. As we know โI came for the language but stayed for the communityโ so letโs keep pushing the envelope of making our community look like US! ๐๐๐๐๐
