Our special guest coach will be @alliennimmons. Other event organizers and contributors are welcome to lurk and also participate in the discussions.

- If you haven’t joined our two channels for our two new programs yet, we’d love for you to join:
- #community-events is where we are holding Allyship for WP events discussions.
- #diverse-speaker-support is where we’ll be connecting with Diverse Speaker workshop participants for mentorship on their talks and for networking with WP event organizers to encourage people to speak at events.
- We answered a question about our Allyship workshop:
The Allyship program is new! We run this workshop once a quarter. Our first time was a few weeks ago in August. The next time will be in November. The videos are also up online for people to watch in their own time.
