Crypto Altruism Podcast Episode 96 - HerVoice NFT - Turning women’s voices into action with Web3 technology
In episode 96, we’re excited to welcome Melissa Jun Rowley, Founder of HerVoice NFT, an NFT project with a bold vision to “unleash the voices of 3.9 billion women.” We discuss how Web3 can help uplift and drive movements of change, the power of NFTs to raise funds and awareness for important causes, building inclusion and diversity in Web3, and much more.
Three Key Takeaways
Community is one of Web3’s biggest assets. We’ve seen time and time again how quickly the Web3 community has been able to mobilize around important causes such as support for humanitarian aid in Ukraine, and relief in Turkey and Syria.
Web3 and NFTs are an incredible tool for connecting people all over the world. HerVoice NFT, for example, is a collaboration of women from over 20 countries and is a truly multilingual and multicultural project enabled by Web3.
The “Crypto Bro” narrative is still dominate in Web3, and there is a need to “shift the language”. We can do this by meeting people where they are at when onboarding them to Web3 and focusing educational efforts on the benefits of Web3 to one’s life, as opposed to just the technology behind Web3.
