By accident whilst in search for something bigger than myself π«Ά
That led me to the OG blogosphere (2008-today), @CodeFirstGirls where I built up #ShefCodeFirst and later, #LeedsCFG (2015-2020), @hackmeduk where I organised #HackMed18 (2018) and @LadiesinDevOps (2021) β¨

I've been heavily involved with @CodeFirstGirls community over the years. This blog post is from 2018, but it is *still* relevant today. I wouldn't be where I am today without this community, I'm forever grateful! #WomeninTech #ShefCodeFirst

Creating this Discord server is reminding me of my #ShefCodeFirst days. In 2016-2018, I was growing the local @CodeFirstGirls community in Sheffield β we had a Facebook Group where I regularly shared jobs and opportunities. Students ended up getting speaking gigs and internships.

I asked @clarknarvas for an icon for the Discord server... He came through in 5 minutes. HOW INCREDIBLE DOES THIS LOOK π€©π€©
