Um, mic drop.

The cheesy but true takeaway? Whether I'm dropping into fresh pow or wading deeper into #web3, I'm bringing the same energy that's carried me through every other “you don't belong here” space—curiosity, persistence, and just enough audacity to keep things interesting.”

What makes these two entities special isn't just that they're created by women—it's that they recognize learning happens differently when you don't have to waste energy proving you belong there.

Which brings me back to SheFi and spaces like it (um, literally plugging @boysclub.bsky.social in almost every issue of Babe—they’re so good!).

If there's one thing I've learned from all those years as one of only a few women in the room, it's that I'm probably not actually the only one—I just haven't found the others yet.

If these systems are built exclusively by one type of person, they'll inevitably serve that type of person best. Think: western medicine.

This matters because blockchain technology isn't just about digital money or cartoon apes worth millions. It's about reimagining how we organize, how we build communities, how we distribute power.

The sad truth is that the future of the internet is being built primarily by one demographic, which means it risks repeating all the same mistakes of Web 1.0 and 2.0—just with fancier technology.

Depending on the source, women make up between 10-29% of crypto investors globally. The gender gap is even worse among developers and founders.

Maybe it’s the challenge of it, maybe it’s the oh yeah? let me prove you wrong of it, maybe it’s because I grew up semi-oblivious to the fact that I didn’t belong in these spaces (thanks, mom and dad). Who knows.

What I’m getting at is being the only woman in the room isn't new to me. In fact, consciously and/or subconsciously, I think it’s something I’ve always kinda sought out.

I started a creative writing program at a men's prison (all men, obvs; though I did meet a sweet trans woman there) and currently co-chair a Police Chief Advisory Council (so many men).

I raced bikes professionally for over ten years (male dominated). I ran day labor jobs and fought wildland fires to make extra money (totes male dominated).
