We are here to change that. Founded in 2020, Larabelles is a global community initiative dedicated to supporting women and those who do not identify as men in the Laravel and wider PHP ecosystems. We aim to foster a more inclusive, supportive, and visible space in tech by connecting our members, amplifying their work, and encouraging active participation in the community. Our projects, such as the Larabelles Directory or the Larabelles Podcast , highlight the talent and achievements of our members, making it easier for others to discover and reach out for collaborations, speaking engagements, mentorship, and job opportunities. We regularly organise giveaways, giving away free tickets to conferences and other events to help our members attend and connect with the wider community. Joining us is free and open to anyone who does not identify as a man in tech. Use the Join Us form if you'd like to have your profile added to the Larabelles directory, or our Discord server to connect with other members and stay up to date with our projects and initiatives.
