Des Femmes Updates June 2023 ☀️
Our NYC summer mixer, job opportunities, and European plans
Hello and welcome back to the Des Femmes newsletter!
Our first meetup of summer 2023 will be July 17th at 8 pm in New York City at the bitcoin-themed bar PubKey. Can’t wait to see some of y’all again IRL!
Can’t make it to NYC this summer? We highly recommend that you buy our limited edition print magazine bundle, on sale for just one more week and shipped to you anywhere in the world. This is the last week to order magazines before we switch to in-person distribution only, so don’t wait!
Community Spotlight
It’s our pleasure to introduce Suki Cheung, who has been involved in building the Des Femmes community since 2021, especially by managing our Shopify website, LinkedIn, Canva graphics and Instagram. She's a marketing professional with almost a decade of experience (open to freelance gigs if you’re looking) and a penchant for managing Web3 marketing projects.
If you’re already a member of our community, feel free to drop her a message on Slack if you're interested in collaborating or need advice on marketing strategies. She’ll be a part of orchestrating our first IRL event in Europe later this year, so let us know if you have any strong inclinations towards traveling to Paris or Amsterdam in October.
In the meantime, follow @sukic852 on Twitter to keep up with Suki and check out our community Notion to learn more about our origin story!
Job Opportunities
Thesis is looking for a Senior Creative Developer. They want someone with Typescript experience who can prototype quickly and efficiently, but also knows that done is better than perfect. A remote-first company, Thesis is a cryptocurrency venture studio that supports products and protocols in cryptocurrency and decentralized businesses enabling sovereignty and privacy. If you’re interested in applying, send your resume to leigh [at] desfemmesmagazine.com and we can connect you if it might be a good fit.
We also encourage any badass lady in the community who is looking for a job to upload her resume and skills to the Women in Blockchain career development portal.
Both Des Femmes and WiB have collectively achieved what was to us unimaginable: offered networking tools; sponsored travel, accommodation and tickets to conferences; written and published research pieces; presented career opportunities; offered educational resources; increased diversity in panels; made lots of new friends; and so much more.
Can’t wait for our Des Femmes IRL debut in Europe in Q4 2023? If you want to join WiB’s invite-only dinner for women at EthCC in Paris on July 19th, send community members Manasi Vora or Laura Vidiella a Twitter DM and they’ll get you on the invite list. Also, if you want to see one of our fav magazine contributors, Meltem Demirors, give a keynote speech in Paris, check out the SheFi Summit on July 16th.
Later this year we’ll be expanding our network above and beyond, with our first IRL event in Europe. Let us know you’d like to join and offer a peer-led workshop (so far we’ve got offers for Nostr for beginners, Github for non-programmers, financial wellness, and dominatrix negotiation tactics for non-sex workers), follow us on Instagram and let us know via DM!
Or, if you’re interested in collaborating with us on an event or mentorship program, feel free to email hello [at] desfemmesmagazine.com.
Until next time, stay curious!
