In this talk, I’ll share my journey from initially disliking WordPress to becoming a Lead Developer, trainer, community contributor, and WordPress advocate. I’ll show how engaging with the WordPress community can be a bridge to professional growth, leadership opportunities, and even global recognition.
Attendees will learn how contributing, whether through code, mentorship, or organizing events, can transform careers, build leadership skills, and create lasting impact. I’ll share practical lessons from my own experience, inspiring African developers and entrepreneurs to see the WordPress ecosystem not just as a platform, but as a gateway to opportunities, collaboration, and community-driven success.
