Abigail is an IT professional from Accra in Ghana who loves programming and the power that it can put in people's hands - especially those people who have less power of their own to begin with. She wants to help do more of that, and is confident that the Python community can help achieve it.
Abigail is the lead of PyLadies in Ghana, a recipient of a PSF Community Service Award and she has served on the organising teams of both PyCon Ghana and PyCon Africa. She believes that women, technology and education need to come together as strongly as possible, and will do whatever she can to help create a future in which they do.
