| ## The Birth of Open Nest Africa | ||
|
|
||
| **Bami: That’s so insightful. Now tell us about your own initiative, OpenNest-Africa. What inspired it?** | ||
| ***Maya:** OpenNest-Africa was born out of something I deeply understood, how hard it can be to find your footing in open source, especially when you’re just starting out and don’t have a technical background. My journey with AsyncAPI changed that for me. I found a space where I could contribute, lead, and grow, through design, through community, and through care. That experience opened my eyes, and I wanted to create something that could open doors for others too. In 2022, I participated in SheCodeAfrica’s HerFest, our team placed second in the GitHub project category, and that was a turning point. I realized I had the skills, clarity, and vision to help others get started in open source, too. By 2024, during the HerToberfest by She Code Africa (SCA), I took everything I had learned, from contribution models to inclusive community design, and co-founded OpenNest-Africa with three other incredible women. Though it started in Africa, OpenNest-Africa is a global initiative. We created it for beginners everywhere, whether you’re technical, non-technical, or just curious - to find guidance, support, and a community that feels safe and welcoming. We built the space we wish we had. And now we nurture it so others can find their place, too.* | ||

Inconsistent project naming
The initiative appears as both “Open-Nest-Africa” and “Open Nest Africa.” Use the official branding “Open Nest Africa” (spaces, no hyphens) throughout for consistency.
