Deep dives

The Origin of Coding Black Females

Coding Black Female was founded by Charlene Hunter about seven years ago to connect with other black women in tech due to the lack of representation she observed when she started coding 15 years ago. Inspired by the film 'Hidden Figures,' she established the community to provide networking opportunities, events, mentoring, and a bootcamp program to help individuals transition into the tech industry.
