This week we're celebrating International Day of The Girl (Oct.11th!) with some of the women trailblazing through Web3 and using the power of blockchain tech to foster opportunity and safety for other girls. 

Alona Shevchenko helped create UKRAINE DAO earlier this year to help aid in the fight against Russian tyranny. Now, this same model is being used to help the protestors fighting in Iran, after 22 year old Mahsa Amini was arrested for not wearing a Hijab and later killed in custody. Maral Pourkazemi is making her blockchain debut with the IRANIAN DAO to give a microphone to women on the ground and help fund change. 

Juliette Blake joins the show to share why she's taking her Web2 brand Miss O and Friends and bringing it to Web3. Miss O Cool Girls is working to lower the barrier to entry for young girls through education and inclusion. They're building educational platforms and creating safe spaces for girls to witness and participate the future of the web. 

My BFF cofounder Jaime Schmidt to learn about how she formed this network of powerful women to learn and grow in Web3 through collaboration and camaraderie. 

Honeybadges is an NFT project with a purpose. G.D Anderson was disheartened to see how much money in charity work gets lost in red tape and fees. The blockchain is cutting out the middlemen and stretching donations further. Honeybadges give you an emblem that represents you while supporting a certain cause. It creates an avenue for communities to form around similar values, and brings more structured transparency to funding charity causes.
