I appreciate all of the warm energy I get every year at @djangocon.
The ability to be on stage more than once is an honor I don't take lightly. I love that you all get to know the person that bounces around talking about community, but my favorite Djangonauts move mountains with their privilege in silence.
When they do "the work", they show up in spades to hold your hand, or cheer you on, give context, while remaining strategically and intentionally invisible.

I'm entering a new era of my career where my cycles are spent being visible now, so some people will be able to be more visible (sooner rather than) later; which is the natural order of things. I'm thankful for the opportunities, but this wonderful behavior was modeled for me. I only picked it up because I paid attention to what really sustains a community: weilding your privilege deftly.
