Using Django to change black people life in Brazil
summary
AfroPython starts as community events and formalizes into a social-good company in 2021, using Python and Django to run training, placements and paid engagements. It runs conferences and workshops in Salvador and other cities, offers Brazilian Sign Language at events, and charges $100 per student to fund a slot in a two-week ancestral course leading toward a four-month bootcamp; measurable outcomes include a former history teacher who transitions into a data scientist and paid placements for participants.
