Leading with Purpose
Before starting Mastercard I read about an initiative that was launched in June 2022 called "The Belle Block?". The main goal and focus is around educating and empowering women and non-binary individuals to benefit from Web3 technology and crypto.
Belle stands for business growth, education, leadership, legal and regulatory, and entrepreneurship. Read the press release below:
What I love about this initiative is the problem solving around "giving more people the choice to explore and engage in the crypto ecosystem and better understand the power of blockchain as an underlying technology to build a better future".
"Mastercard recently launched its 2022 New Payments Index, a global survey among 35,000+ consumers in 40 countries, which found those already familiar with the crypto space, women especially, have a heightened interest in expanding their knowledge.
Nine out of 10 women have heard of cryptocurrency, but their current understanding of crypto and digital asset terminology is less robust than men, including non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – 58% of women are aware vs. 75% of men, blockchain – 51% of women are aware vs. 71% of men, central bank digital currencies (CBDC) – 59% of women are aware vs. 69% of men, and stablecoins – 51% of women are aware vs. 65% of men.*" - Source below
I am excited to support this initiative as well as many other important Web3 programming that focuses on Women and Non Binary Individuals, Accessibility, Disability (Visible and Invisible) and Inclusion.
The Web3 ecosystem deserves more diversity in thought and I am excited to be part of the conversation! If you have any good resources in this space, please DM me! I am always open to learning.
I wish you peace and purpose,
