"The existing ecosystem -- the conferences, the certifications, the networks -- was built for people who already have resources, time, and access. Most people don't have those things, and most organizations serving them don't either. Unicorn Flames builds what that ecosystem won't: practical, accessible, community-rooted initiatives that meet people where they actually are."
