Discussion on: Introducing Learn Code from Us

[Max Antonucci]

If I could make a suggestion, Tearyne (pronounced like Karen with a T) is a black female dev from Texas that's been starting to establish her own voice and has spoken about diversity and web development, and a really good online-friend of mine from a front-end development slack channel. Definitely reach out to her about being included, I think she'd make a great addition. See her twitter here -> twitter.com/TearyneG

Awesome! Will do, thanks!
