Hi from Brazil! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท
Join us for a unique journey from Brazil to the world of Python and Django. AfroPython, initially inspired by community events, has transformed into a social good company. In this talk, we'll explore the evolution of AfroPython and the impact of Python and Django on our journey. We'll discuss how these technologies have enabled us to achieve our mission and create social change. Come and be inspired by our story!


I'm Felipe de Morais, Co-CEO and co-founder of AfroPython. In this talk, I will share the path of AfroPython in Brazil(http://afropython.org/) and how the Python community was involved in growing and building this community of black people in IT. And how we became a company to help people thrive using Python.
