10 years ago I organized my, & the, 1st #DjangoGirls event in Seoul, South Korea: 70/425 applicants accepted, it was a huge success. And was the start of a wonderful decade that launched my #Django community involvement and career. 💻
I feel grateful, proud, and inspired to keep paying it forward.🧡

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

Not a dry eye in the room by the end. Addiction, recovery, and deep personal relationships in our community is not what you typically hear at a tech conference – but is a key part of #DjangoCon year after year.
Thank you @flipperpa.bsky.social for the many lives you've touched, my own included.
