#246 Bekah Hawrot Weigel found the power of communities

Bekah started with a poignant story of how the birth of her 4th child was a traumatic event that threw her into depression, PTSD, and questioning her place in the world. We then talked about her discovery of the FreeCodeCamp, and how she ended up saying, "I'm done" with her first career. We then discussed the role of communities in finding her first job and how COVID led to the creation of Virtual Coffee. We spoke extensively about Virtual Coffee and what makes it the inclusive place many developers cherish.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/BekahHWhttps://virtualcoffee.io/https://bekahhw.github.io/ML with Python Learning Group https://github.com/orgs/deepgram/discussions/74Find the video for this -> Bekah's Keynote at That-Conference https://that.us/activities/BojrAo0dd8x62Arj8s6U"Dan" that Bekah mentioned a few times https://twitter.com/danieltottCertified Fresh Events https://cfe.dev/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribeSupport the show
