WordPress is far more than a content management system. It’s also an open, inclusive, and inviting community. It encourages people from all backgrounds to hone their skills and share their knowledge with others. In particular, the WordPress community offers invaluable support for women in tech. A key example is Women in WP, a podcast sponsored by Ninja Forms.
