For nearly two years, I was a contractor for a non-profit who give resources and support to people who want to organize programming workshops for women. I was paid to do something I loved but learned the hard that it doesn’t protect you from burnout.
In this talk, I want to share my burnout story from the first signals to the recovery (I’m still in that phase). By doing that, I hope it will help other activists to not burn out.

"Don't ever touch the keyboard" is one of the main rules of teaching programming to someone. But what else should you know before mentoring someone? This short talk will focus on what you can do to help and empower new learners.
