Community Meeting

Are you a black WordPress enthusiast or an ally looking to connect with like-minded individuals? Are you an ally looking for ways to support our community and mission? Join us for an empowering and inspiring event where we come together to strengthen the bonds within the BlackPress community.

What to Expect:

🤝 Connect with Fellow Black WordPress Enthusiasts and Allies: Meet and mingle with a diverse group of individuals who share a passion for WordPress. Forge new connections, exchange ideas, and expand your network within the BlackPress community.

🎉 Plan Activities for the Year: WordPress community events are for the people, by the people. Be part of the brainstorming session as we collectively plan activities and initiatives for the upcoming year. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of Blackpress and making a lasting impact within the WordPress community.

🌐 Addressing Representation: WordPress, a platform that unites creators worldwide, was co-founded by individuals of diverse backgrounds. However, the current representation within the community may not reflect this diversity. Let's discuss ways to change that narrative and foster an inclusive space for black WordPressers.

💡 Share Your Ideas and Initiatives: This event is not just about discussion, but also about action! Join the conversation to suggest ideas, share your initiatives, and actively contribute to the growth of the BlackPress community. Your voice matters, and together, we can create positive change.

🤗 Building Community: Above all, this gathering is about finding a sense of belonging and community. We all need each other, and BlackPress is here to provide a supportive space where you can thrive both personally and professionally.
