It's a wonderful time for Black Python Devs! It's time to celebrate 1000 members in the Discord!
Reminder that any one that supports the idea of creating community for Black Pythonistas around the globe is invited to join!
Next newsletter post dropping later today! Make sure you're on the list to learn more about what we've got going on this Spring and Summer!
We had an excellent first year as a non-profit, but we need your help to continue on.
Our projections show that if funding doesn't increase, we'll only be able to support Black Python Communities for the next 1.25 years 😲.
Look at some of the awesome leadership in place at Black Python Devs.
One of our goals is to create opportunities for people to step into leaership roles.
