Ebonie Butler writes about her experience contributing to the latest version of WordPress and what that personally meant to her:
“As a black woman, it is always an obstacle to get involved in a space where there is either no one or very few people who look like you… it is important for me to never waste my time if the space that I am trying to contribute to doesn’t make space for me. In terms of WordPress, an amazing initiative was started by Josepha Haden Chomphosy to make the WordPress 5.6 team an all women & non-binary release squad… and I took this opportunity to raise my hand to be involved.”
