Episode description

How can NFTs advance social justice? Jessica Liao, Business Engineering Manager for Meta, hosts this special episode of the Meta Business, Innovation and Technology podcast featuring Maliha Abidi, Founder and Artist at Women Rise NFT and Elissa Maercklein, Advisor. Program Manager Madeline Lieber and Business Engineer Renfei Zou of Meta also join the discussion.

The panel talks about how NFTs offer a way for women and other underrepresented groups to learn about Web3 and blockchain, lend support to causes they care about, and earn income from digital creations. They discuss how education is key to lowering the barrier to entry for Web3, and Maliha shares how Women Rise plans to onboard 100,000 women by the end of 2022.

You’ll also learn what kinds of jobs, businesses, and audiences women might have in Web3; what else the Web3 space needs to be more accessible; and how NFT projects in the Metaverse are already generating significant wealth for women around the world.
