November 18, 2019 — In any industry, you have peers. In WordPress, you have community. So what does community mean? Why is it important to be part of a community? How do you become part of the community when you’re new? And how can we have mentorship from the seasoned community members?

In this talk, I’ll discuss how we can include others. How new people can observe. How active members can include. And how we can have a truly diverse and and accepting culture — not just an inclusive label.
