Triangirls Newsletter - ⚡️Remote Event 🎟 Spring is here 🐣 Swag Update 🌈Jobs
🌷🌺🌸Spring is finally here! 🌸🌺🌷
The days are getting longer and the weather is finally getting a bit warmer too. The change in the seasons has definitely put a spring in our step (sorry about the pun!) and we’re really looking forward to our next event in April.
✨What happened in March
In March we had our first event of 2021 where we partnered up with Coding Black Females and our sponsor Cleo. We had multiple sessions where we found out how to charge our career progression with actionable steps from Ria.
Here is the worksheet from Ria’s session here
We also had a session with Coding Black Females where they spoke about the power of community and how a community can help you to progress on your journey. Charlene and Jessie have inspired us even more with their knowledge and experiences in running a community.
We’re over the moon about how this event went so thank you to Cleo for sponsoring the event and making it happen.
😱Missed it? Don't worry, we'll have some blog posts soon from our community talking about the event.
🌈 Swag Update
Last month we were due to give away some notebooks for those who attended the event but realised we did record who actually attended. So we’re opening up the offering to your newsletter subscribers who live in the UK!
Triangirls Positivity Journal Form
Fill out the form above and we'll select 50 random people based in UK to receive a notebook from us. This notebook has been made possible by the fabulous Brendan Kearns who kindly donated to Triangirls in celebration of International Women’s Day.
These bespoke positivity journals have been created with the wonderful Talk & Tell! So keep your eyes peeled once we’re ready to send out the notebooks.

Introducing Joy Nwaiwu Backend Developer and Technical Writer
