Let's do this again! If you have a (still useful) tech book you don't need, bring it to PyCon, contact me, or drop it at the @blackpythondevs booth and I'll help find it a new home. If you won't be attending PyCon US, kindly send me a dm and let's work out a plan.

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! blackpythondevs.com/community/

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 😲. blackpythondevs.com/support

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. Learn more about us: blackpythondevs.com/about

A special thank you to @VeldaKiara who, for the last year, has served as BPD's Vice Executor. You brought so much to the community and we wish you the best of luck in your new adventures!

We're happy to announce that Lazouich Ford has been appointed as North America's Regional Executor. Congratulations, I look forward to what you'll be able to accomplish at North America's BPD lead. Learn more about our regional executor roles: blackpythondevs.com/2024-12-16-bpd…

We're happy to announce that @afi_maame has been appointed as Africa's Regional Executor! Congratulations Afi! We're excited for you to lead the African Community of Black Python Devs.

It also creates a pipeline for leadership as the Regional Executors will be able to appoint a team of leaders to assist them as well as serve 1 year terms.

Something important to us from day one was regional representation. Our BPD Council ensured that we heard from community leaders in all that we did. This takes things a step further by installing leadership at the continental level.

Black Python Devs is happy to announce a major change in our leadership model with the introduction of regional executors. blackpythondevs.com/2024-12-16-bpd…

Congratulations to @afi_maame for her selection to the @djangoproject Board of Directors.
