As many of you probably already know, I have recently graduated from the #shefiseason12 cohort of the @shefi  program led by the amazing Maggie @love 

I’m not new to crypto but my non-technical background has made it quite difficult to understand the world of Web3 on my own. 

I think most crypto enthusiasts are primarily focused on the financial incentives in this space, but this has never been the case for me. Not that I haven’t owned any Bitcoin or Eth, but I just somehow jumped on the non-fi wagons of the crypto train right from the start ⬇️

Normie homie. 

SheFi Cohort 12 | Women in Tech @ Studio

Also, disregard what I’ve just said about my knowledge and additional details. If you’re absolutely new to anything crypto - you would still be able to catch up with all the main topics because Maggie does a phenomenal job covering all the bases

This is the first cast in my little series on my Shefi experience - more will come out in the next couple of days. A few teasers:

!! Our cohort was sponsored by @celo - I came by their office in Oct when I was in SF

!! @shefi  has it own wallet (more on this later) 

TBC

The program is for women, female-identifying, and non-binary people, but I believe male allies can participate in some aspects of - will need to confirm that

That said, a self-taught normie, I was encouraged by my female friends from Farcaster to apply for the @shefi  program to finally explore the many facets of defi in a more organized fashioned. I must say, girl, they were damn right 

While I did have prior knowledge of certain aspects of Web3, there was still a ton of details that I either haven’t explored before or just have never come across. Yup, let’s just face it: we can’t always catch up with everything in this fast-paced industry ⬇️

I agree most are financially driven which only helps us who are focusing on other things.

To me, they are financing our education...of this space we now call home (well Indo anyways 😆)
