- I launched SheFi April 16, 2020 from the depths of a scary and uncertain lockdown. On the surface level, a DeFi program in a financially unstable time didn't make sense, but I saw government systems failing around me, and I wanted women to know their options. So I pressed send on the "Hello World, Meet SheFi" blog post.
At the time, I was sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with my friend Sophia Budianto, only going outside to get groceries. I didn't know what it meant to be a boot-strapped founder, that I was going to build a global community or what the future held for crypto.
I just had this restless voice inside of me saying, DeFi is the future. Also, I knew that DeFi and crypto weren't meant just to be for my knowledge and empowerment, but meant to be shared with everyone.
Most importantly, every women deserves financial sovereignty.
So I spent countless lockdown hours making slides and demos on MakerDAO, AAVE, Uniswap Labs, MetaMask, Ethereum and DeFi more broadly to the background noise of Love is Blind.
That summer, I started hosting virtual "A Date With SheFi" events for 20 women who knew nothing about Web3. Thank you to my first cohort Cristina Nathan, Ariana Fowler, Kaitlyn Kerr, Callie Simpkins, Nicoleta Hardesty, Susie Batt, and the many other women who joined me on my first go-around. Your support means everything to me.
Things have certainly changed since 20 women on zoom:
⚡ 3,000 members
⚡ 26 Chapter Leads
⚡ 90 countries
⚡ Global SheFi Summit events
⚡ Content about DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, Consumer, Scaling, and AI
What keeps me motivated 4 years later, is what motivated me to launch SheFi from lockdown -- that every woman on the planet deserves a bank account that she truly owns. Even if she only has $ 2, $ 5, or $ 50 in that bank account, no one can take it from her.
I won't stop until I've accomplished that mission: Financial Freedom is Feminine.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey: SheFi team members of past and present, advisors, the SheFi community, sponsors, event speakers, cheerleaders, friends, people who like my posts, you all make the journey 10000x better.

- ****Today I was in a funk.
I felt like a raincloud was hanging over my head, and nothing went as planned. Texting my friends, many felt the same.
Naturally, I checked out what the planets might be up to, and let me tell you, cosmically the vibes are off.
I'll explain 👇 🌑
We're dealing with a combination of:
- A total solar eclipse in Aries 🌑
- A Mercury retrograde in Aries ♈
- An eclipse conjunction Chiron 🩹
It's a cosmic storm that will be bumpy but also transformational.
Eclipse: We're heading towards a total solar eclipse in Aries on April 8.
Eclipses, especially solar, are cosmic resets because they symbolize the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
Think of it as the universe's way of saying, "Time for a fresh start!"
The eclipse is in Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, which is all about initiation, leadership, and going toward the unknown.
A solar eclipse in Aries is time for you to set bold, new intentions and start fresh in areas of life that have felt stagnant.
Chiron: The eclipse is also conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer.
Called the "Chironeclipse," it's a rare moment to confront deep-seated wounds.
This isn't just personal; it's a collective call to heal and grow beyond our past limitations.
Mercury retrograde: (Apr 1-25) means expect the unexpected: communication mishaps, tech glitches, and introspection.
It's not the time for haste; it's a period to pause, reflect, and recalibrate.
While the eclipse invites us to move forward, retrograde brings us set backs.
For the career girlies, this period marks a significant shift, inviting us to blaze new trails and potentially step into leadership roles.
The universe is urging us to take charge, leveraging our talents where they're needed most.
Tips for navigating this time:
- Reflect on professional goals, leadership styles and risk taking
- Practice mindfulness, drop into your heart, and SLOW DOWN!
- Set intentions, especially around leadership, authenticity and healing
After the eclipse's darkness, clarity returns, offering new perspectives and opportunities. Embrace this transformative time with open arms and an open heart.
While the vibes might feel "off," it's a cosmic invitation to grow, heal, and evolve.
What practices will you engage in to make the most of this solar eclipse?

A little but loud voice inside wants to take the easy route & give up.
But it’s a good reminder that sometimes we have to start over or take steps back for progress.
Just do the hard things! And do them in style with @lensprotocol.lens

- Introducing Orb Communities! 🪐
The Community Layer of Web3.
Orb Communities are composable and interoperable, built on top of the @LensProtocol.lens.lens. It makes it easy to integrate community features across Lens apps.
Today, we are thrilled to present the first iteration of Orb Communities, a vision that has been with us since we embarked on the Orb journey a year ago.
These communities are a fundamental part of the composable and interoperable community layer of web3.
User-owned communities empower people by decentralizing authority and making every individual a crucial stakeholder in the community's direction and evolution.
This marks a significant shift from traditional, centralized communities, where only a select few make decisions.
We believe that @LensProtocol Profiles are much more than NFTs.
At the core of our Communities membership lies the ERC-6551 with Lens Profiles turned into Token Bound Accounts (TBA).
Communities are much more vibrant and engaging when built together.
We warmly welcome developers to build upon it! Check out our Mirror for more https://mirror.xyz/orbapp.eth/s5HNwiDup4sw2nbDi8FgZmlcpR6qIulTsW5qh6KRT0I
