Welcome to the only newsletter in WordPress by women, for women, and about women.

The women of WordPress have been up to some amazing things this week!

This Issue's Wonder Woman: Raquel

Raquel manages Community/Events for Divi & is a perpetually curious babe with a young soul. Intentional about community building, she believes that wherever her feet are is where she builds. Currently, she is active in several communities from creative ➡️ tech ➡️ startups, & more.
Her personal side: she just graduated full-time parenthood, has wanderlust, is a music lover, outdoors lover, general purveyor of sass, & loves spending time with her big, Indigenous family.

What is your mantra?

I believe that wherever my feet are, I will build community. Building community creates trusted relationships & connections with humans where you live, work, & play. I believe that the more we trust each other, the more we'll love each other, & I believe that love will change this world.

Tell us 3-5 tech tools that you swear by that make life & work a little easier.

Slack, CarPlay, & my AppleWatch 😅 (I'm cheeky, I know)

What's in your mug/glass/bottle during work hours?

40z peach Hydro Flask full of water & a Yeti coffee tumbler

What's in your mug/glass/bottle after hours?

Same 40z peach Hydro Flask full of water & a can of peach Waterloo

Knowing what you do now, what advice would you give to your younger self?

Believe that you're lovable and deserving of love. And run as fast as you can away from Purity Culture 🤢.
