About Black Codher

How We Began

In 2020, as part of West Midland Combined Authority’s initiative for economic empowerment for both the unemployed and the low-skilled employed to progress into digital occupations, Niyo Enterprise and Coding Black Females partnered together to put on a 30-week Coding Bootcamp in the West Midlands for 50 black women over 18, unemployed or employed with a salary of under £25k. Since then, we have been able to train more black women in software engineering and we continue to take this mission globally.
