Des Femmes 2024 Mentorship Program Is Now Accepting Applications
Calling all motherhood-curious women: learn about the realities of motherhood for working parents, and how to feel more financially secure during these times
Sterling here, as usual 👋 thank you to everyone who came to the Des Femmes side event at Bitcoin Nashville! It was great to see some new and familiar faces.
You may notice this newsletter is earlier than usual, and that’s because I want to introduce our 2024 mentorship program!
Previously we’ve offered mentorship programs around Bitcoin programming, professional development, and financial wellness mentorship. This year we’re bringing all of those themes under one umbrella for a very special program, and applications are open until Monday, August 12.
2024 Des Femmes Mentorship For Working Moms
When Leigh and Camila first envisioned Des Femmes, they pictured a print magazine that covered numerous aspects of working women’s lives, such as career, sex, finance, well-being, women’s health, art, fashion…and motherhood.
We’ve had contributors write about their experiences balancing career and motherhood, sometimes focusing on one over the other. We also have many mothers—and motherhood-curious members—within the Des Femmes community.
This year, we are offering a mentorship opportunity to connect working moms with women who are curious about balancing motherhood with career in this day and age of remote work, modern family planning, and multi-faceted career paths.
The eight week program will run from September through October, consisting of one-on-one calls between mentors and mentees. By the end, mentees will come out with a better understanding of the realities of motherhood for working parents, and how to feel more financially secure in their given contexts.
We have already confirmed some of our mentors, including Pei Chen of Sei Foundation, Lisa Hough of Bitcoin Today Coalition, and Jennifer J. Fondrevay of Day1 Ready.
If you’re a motherhood-curious woman, an expectant mother, or recently gave birth, we welcome you to join us! Applications close on end-of-day Monday, August 12.
