Help me bring Black Girls Code to Brooklyn - I'm matching the first $5K

I'm among those who think this organization isn't doing it right, but I'm a 'colored' developer. Does that make my opinion any more valid than the white men's ?

To me this is as beneficial as a 'white girls rap' bootcamp, but hey, whatever helps.

Its one thing to think that "they're not doing it right", its another thing to think it is actively racist. One is an opinion, the other is idiocy.

"Colored Coder" has more of a ring to it...

Along with "Diaspora Developer" which hits class+immigration issues from a different angle.

I would prefer to see these types of programming camps open to anyone interested.

What got you into coding by the way?
