+title: Edmond Makolle Added to BPD Council
+---
+
+Congratulations to [Edmond Makolle](https://www.linkedin.com/in/edmondmakolle/) from Cameroon on his recognition and consideration for the BPD Council!
+
+Edmond is a Backend Engineer who principally works with Python stack (Django, Fast API). He is a Community Organizer for Python Cameroon, Django Cameroon and Google Developer Groups Yaoundé.
+
+Through countless volunteer hours hosting meetups, both in person and online, and organizing hands-on workshops, he's opened doors for developers at every level. Edmond's work goes beyond teaching code. He's building pathways, creating connections, and ensuring that Black Python developers in Cameroon have the community, resources, and support they need to succeed.
+
+The BPD council is the sounding board for decisions that need to be made in Black Python Devs. They are the advisory group who share how our actions can impact their communities. The council is made up of organizers, BPD leaders and those in leadership positions around the Python world.
+
+Congratulations again to Edmond Makolle!
