Hey,
Happy Tuesday! I wanted to take this time to thank all of our community members, newsletter subscribers, and Twitter followers for referring our community to friends and family. These past few weeks we have seen so much growth.
As for me, I've been quite occupied with moving. I have also been spending much of my time researching black or minority-owned tech-related businesses to collaborate with, promote, and feature. You may find that the resource of the week section of our newsletter primarily (not always) features products, companies, and services by minorities and underrepresented groups world-wide. If you identify with these groups and have a product or company you want to see in our resource of the week section. Send me an email.
Last but not least, once things settle a bit more for me, I'm thinking about picking back up my DevOps skills. If anyone else is doing the same, I would love to start a weekly study group.
Enjoy,
Naya
Founder + CEO of Frauvis

Tip Of The Week ✨
Introduction emails can be tricky, so we are sharing how to reply. The key tip is to keep it simple and reply with etiquette. Here are a few points to follow in this order:
- Thank the person who made the introduction.
- 1-2 sentences about who you are, what you are working on (the reason for the intro).
- Express interest in wanting to meet.
- Minimum 3 available times to have a call or grab a coffee.
