About CBF and BCS

Coding Black Females

Coding Black Females was created in 2017. It is a non-profit organisation, with the primary aim of providing opportunities for Black female developers to develop themselves, meet familiar faces, network, receive support and build relationships through having regular meetups.

Whether you’ve been in the industry for 5 minutes or 10 years, if you work as a freelancer or for a huge corporation, the CBF philosophy is that we can learn from and inspire each other, and empower the next generation to achieve success.
