Looking back, this year has been a journey of growth, connection, and discovery 🌍. From meeting brilliant minds to being a part of transformative events, 2024 was a milestone in so many ways. Each new role and every new collaboration reminded me of the immense power of community and shared vision.
Climbing through the challenges and triumphs, I had the honor to organize incredible events like DjangoCon Europe, DjangoCon US, PyCon Portugal , PyCon Africa, and Google IO Extended Student Edition. Each of these experiences opened doors to friendships, mentorships, and unforgettable conversations.
A special thank you to those who supported me along the way:
- Peter Grandstaff and the DjangoCon US team—thank you for trusting me as the Opportunity Grant Co-chair for 2024! Your encouragement, along with Carol Ganz’s guidance, made the role both impactful and unforgettable.
- Benedict Kofi Amofah, my prep teacher, thank you for backing me during my US interview—your support made all the difference.
-Big ups sir Noah Alorwu your kind is rare, abeg show us the way more.
- To the superstars at DjangoCon Europe: David Vaz, Luis Vaz, Miguel Magalhaes, and Bia Rodrigues .Working with you has been a highlight of my year, and I can’t wait to take it even further next year.
- PyCon Africa was an absolute thrill. Special thanks to Mannie Young for giving me the platform to shine and for all you do to elevate our community here in Ghana 🇬🇭.
And PyCon Portugal—it felt like family from day one, and I’m grateful to be part of such a talented, dedicated team. Here’s to even more collaboration in 2025!
Speaking Engagements were another cherished part of this year, including PyCon Africa, PyCon Portugal, PyCon Namibia, Python Nigeria @Python Accra, Google IO Extended, and PyHo and many other Python conferences. Each brought its own excitement and learning, pushing me to grow in every way.
Leading the Google IO Extended Student Edition capped off the year beautifully, as we work toward a new phase of community growth and transformation in the Google Developer ecosystem. Here’s to shifting the face of tech community engagement in powerful ways.
Grateful to everyone who made this year remarkable! Let’s make 2025 even more impactful ✨
