Regardless, I and others deserve enough respect to try to rise to any occasion in front of them. If we cross paths at PyCon and you're happy people like me are here, please tell me.
As I bring new people in behind and beside me, I want to introduce them to the Python community I know.

When you see a Black person in open source spaces, they earned it. Period.
My XP is deeper and more varied than you think, my track record is formidable & my networking (friend building) is elite. Just bc I don't flex doesn't mean it's not there.

Hey yall! PyCon US is HERE!
I am showing up there, again, as my full self like I do every year. I am showing up with a new vigor, love & appreciation, but also a level of exhaustion.
This year, I was racism'd in Python activities in a way I've never experienced in the Python community before.
