I had the joy of sitting down with Winstina Hughes, MCRP of Support Inclusion in Tech to talk about the origins of #WPDiversity, my journey in community leadership, and why helping tech professionals speak on stage with confidence remains my passion.

If you’re curious about the story behind the WPDiversity movement, or what’s next with my new endeavor "Speak Tech Confidently," you can read the interview here: https://supportinclusionintech.com/spotlight-jill-binder/

What a lovely second half of the Speaker Workshop for Indian #WordPress Women.

Our group appreciated how to write effective talk proposals, how to work with nerves, and how to handle the tricky situations that can come up in the Q&A section.

Watch for this new batch of great speakers with great talks!

#WPDiversity
