I am writing this as a part of our sponsorship agreement, but I think it goes without saying that I'm a massive fan of the organization, have personally attended their keystone event, PyTexas, twice now(1).

This year at PyTexas I met Black Python Devs from Houston, Dallas, and Austin. They talked about how easy it was going to PyTexas and how this was making them interested in attending meetups and other conferences.
BPD's mission is extending the python community to our communities around the world. We also believe in supporting the Python community that exists and making it sustainable and as welcoming as possible to Black and other historically excluded communities.

All we knew was that the leadership of PyTexas was caring and on a mission to make the community of Texas a safe and friendly environment for all of its members. Year two of supporting them showed really how much they can do in one year. We're so excited to learn what they can do in year three.
I look forward to attending an amazing event in the future on the border in the Rio Grande Valley. I know it will be the friendliest, and most racially and culturally accessible event that I will have ever attended, regardless of what is going on outside the walls of the buildings.
