How Women Find, Grow, and Contribute to WordPress

As a co-host of the Women in WP podcast, I’ve been fortunate to have made the world a much smaller place by interviewing over 100 women from 20 different countries over the past three years. Especially during the pandemic, getting to share our respective stories of being in lock down has helped us all feel not so alone.

In this talk, I will share with you how much the women of WordPress make a difference to both their local communities and the WordPress project, including interviews with 8 of the 46 women on the all woman WordPress 5.6 Release Squad.
