Not taking your work extremely seriously is a form of self-sabotage.
You're so afraid to fail, you convince yourself failure doesn't matter.
And in doing so, manifest the mediocrity you were afraid of in the first place.
Are Mock Interviews a Thing?
So, back in February, I was sharing job opportunities with the amazing @web3ladies community, and it got me thinking. I realized that some ladies might hold back from applying due to imposter syndrome, something I've struggled with too.
It broke my heart to see that we couldn't get as many passionate female engineers within Web3Ladies for the just-concluded #ethereumfrontiersafrica event in Nairobi.
A few of the ladies from @web3ladies were determined to be there; however, only one could attend, thanks to support from the organizers, my personal contribution, and some personal funding from the lady herself.
Visas are a huge blocker and challenge for international events, but finances are an even bigger challenge for local events.
Based on rough estimates, the event saw a 30/70 women-to-men ratio in attendance, which is great, but it could have been better!
If you know of any funds or grants that could support more women and female developers within Web3 to access such high-quality events—events that have the potential to broaden one's perspective, exposure, and collective intelligence—please comment below. We're building up a list of upcoming events and possible sponsorships.
Diversity is inviting someone to an event; inclusion is getting them into the room.

I'm thankful for the opportunity of being selected as one of the beneficiaries of the @web3ladies community to receive a data stipend by @edustipend. Thank you so much 🏽💜
If you’re doing NYSC or about to your NYSC and you need the following :
1. You want to start a tech career.
2. You need a laptop because you can’t afford one for your tech career.
3. You need a large% learning scholarship to a great tech institution.
RT this and DM me ASAP.
If you're a polymath or generalist like me, career confusion is normal. So breathe. Take some time to wander and dabble. You will surely find the next thing you are passionate about.
Can we have more conversations around making the most of your time as a single woman?
Travel, lay solid career foundations, understand yourself. These husband audition talks are becoming exhausting.
Like can’t you see the exchange rates? Surely, there are more pressing issues.
@feyiszn The issue becomes in long term relationships where you’ll have periods of not liking them. What does a person do when those initial feelings fade. Do they work through it, talk about it, and choose their partner? Or do they seek external validation.
Tomorrow the @She__Fi newsletter will include NGOs you can donate to with crypto that will help innocent civilians in Israel & Palestine and peacekeeping efforts.
Please share links below 🙏🏼
