The glow up has inspired me ✊🏾. You have been able to swim gracefully in uncharted territories and have also been an amazing mentor for so many others black women in tech. I am honored to have a front row seat to your continued growth and look forward to seeing you and the TBD team build a great developer experience with their products.

Beyond proud for you and here to tell you:
YOU ARE a Staff Developer Advocate PERIODT!

After a very short time at GitHub, I knew you were no JR, and also that you were going to kill it. So happy that you'll be working with such an outstanding team of humans and have the mentorship of an amazing manager.

Thank you for writing this, so open, and so important. THIS is the new wave of developer relations, and this is what the future of this industry looks like...I'm going to manifest it, like you did speaking at render this year...one of your many many many remarkable accomplishments this year.

I'll miss you, Rizel!

Wow. I was opportuned to listen to Brain Douglas and Angie Jones speak in Lagos earlier in the year at the Open Source Festival, and boy, was the experience inspirational! Working directly with/under them must have been quite the experience.

Rooting for you in your next jpurney.

Very inspiring story @blackgirlbytes, and it is not true nobody would care. I know you said that because you're humble, but a few words in a blog post can do lots of good for various people.

Cheers!
