Crowdsourcing for Robb Elementary, Petitioning To Get Alexis Ren on the Podcast + Fully Doxxed Deadfellaz
Women in Web3 - Issue #15
I was planning a fun summer issue of #womeninweb3 this week, but then I woke up to this tragic news:
Texas school shooting: 21 dead
It can’t be ignored. So we’re pivoting - and I’ve been researching Web3, NFT and DAO projects that are giving back, fundraising, pulling the community together like they have before.
Will you please help me crowdsource?
I’ll deliver the usual Web3 news below, but I couldn’t publish this week’s issue without providing at least one resource to support these children, their families, the incredible teachers who did their best to protect their students.
If you know of someone, some project or some company that is relevant, please tag them below or get in touch.
Update:
I posted the above message on LinkedIn yesterday morning. We’re still working on it! Here’s what came through to start our list:
Good Cactus Fren’s Mental Health LinkedIn Audio event this Friday
GoFundMe launched a verified fundraising hub for Robb Elementary
HUG started a thread asking a similar question - How can we take steps, however small, to make our world a kinder, safer place?
NPR and other publications have launched their lists of how to help IRL and in Web2.
👯♀️ Women in Web3
In light of #Web3-4-Good, I want to shout out Girls in Tech, who are hosting a virtual hackathon to develop tech solutions for the people of Ukraine.
On that train, model and social media personality Alexis Ren is using her platform for good: Enter Sirens – her women-led NFT project support mental health, education and eco-villages.
*Peep my petition to get Alexis on the #WomeninWeb3 podcast… and how it might’ve actually worked!!
++ Other women in the space doing big thangs this week:
Paris Hilton knows how to throw a party.
Esha Gupta of Mysterious.xyz – She kindly selected us for a spot on the mintlist… and with their upcoming plans (aka a Web3 music festival!), I’m sure they won’t disappoint. Tune in on Twitter TODAY for a 1:1 interview with mndsgn prior to his genesis NFT drop.
Sophie Tea – probably the most fun artist on social – is launching an NFT this week.
I dream of having a studio as big and cool (just maybe not colorful, you know my B&W portrait vibes) as hers! I love her #fullydoxxed video and think more NFT projects need this in their marketing toolbox:
Speaking of #fullydoxxed, Betty – the co-founder of Deadfellaz – revealed her true identity.
Also similar to Sophie Tea’s NFT, which is a scan of her body, supermodel Bella Hadid has aped in to the NFT world – with 11,111 unique scans of herself that will be the start of her meta-nation. CY-B3LLA’s taking over…

The answer: To control your data – the content you create (such as posts or videos), and the digital objects you purchase.
