this is really sad, I spent a lot of time with Women Who Code DC and definitely grew my career through their events!

Sad and shocked to hear that Women Who Code is shutting down 😢

When I moved to the DMV area many years ago, Women Who CodeDC provided a lot of support and played a big part in where I am today

Veni Kunche I Founder of Diversify Tech Women Who Code Women Who CodeDC There has been a concerted effort to attack Black women in power, to limit opportunities to funds and to doors. They’ve been fired & have difficulty being hired. The same is coming for the rest of the women, just slowly and in drips. They aren’t as overt or loud about it

It was a great group. I'm sad to see it go, and its leaders/members deserved so much better than the way it was handled.

I saw this news in passing at OSS Seattle yesterday & still don't have words. Women Who Code DC meetups are where I wrote my first few lines of code, downloaded Elasticsearch, made local #womenintech friends, & gave a lightning talk based on my book. Can't believe this.

Veni Kunche I Founder of Diversify Tech Women Who Code Women Who CodeDC Maybe women could connect without an official organization that has paid employees. You ladies could organize a yearly gathering without them and connect in other ways, maybe through an app only for female coders.
