    WordPress Origin Story

    My journey into the WordPress world began when I created my first website, http://www.huedhorizon.com, where I shared my poems. Although the website is no longer active, it was my first experience with WordPress and marked the beginning of my journey with the platform.

    My contribution to the WordPress community began when I presented at WordPress Accessibility Day 2023. Since then, I have continued to contribute to the community through workshops, knowledge sharing, and accessibility advocacy.
