Today I want to tell you about a nice experience I am living within the SheFi program this educational program is founded and led by Maggie Love, and seeks to empower women around the world in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain. And in this version with the support of Celo.
The program combines theoretical and practical education as, through interactive classes, workshops and supportive community, it promotes an inclusive environment that seeks to close the gender gap in the crypto and financial ecosystem.
I came to this course through several reviews of fellow women who made by Twitter, then I decided I wanted to take the next step, so I decided to apply. Big was my surprise when I received the confirmation email to be part of SheFi, then I committed to learn and give my best to take advantage of this great opportunity.
Something that I really liked was the agenda that would be taken during the program, as it seemed very innovative, I believe that one never stops learning and even more so in the web3 world, that's why I was more excited to be part of this beautiful experience.
From the beginning, my expectations were high because I had read very good recommendations of the course, and I think they were all fulfilled, I learned a lot of things both theoretical and practical, but I think the most valuable thing was that I met women from around the world who have the same vision as me, it was nice to connect with them through the SheFi community.
Within the topics that were advanced, I think they were all important and necessary for our knowledge, but another thing that I liked a lot about the dynamics within the course were the materials that were used in the presentations, theoretical content, examples, gifs, motivational phrases and all this purely for women.
It was very exciting because I think that each one felt identified with it, plus we also had several activities and breaks, where for example we listened to music, we did challenges or short tasks, all with the aim of assimilating what we learned, but also to have fun doing it.
For example, creating a wallet, making basic DeFi transactions, getting to know DeFi projects, and sharing the experiences we lived each week together with the SheFi community. In addition, you could meet more women interested and working web3 which was creating a very interesting and valuable network for all of us.
Like any learning process, there are always challenges, I think I only had some problems with the SheFi wallet because it was not allowed in my country, but that was not an impediment to not learn, I used other options to do my homework and also within the community and the SheFi team supported me in that, is another thing that I liked a lot.
If you had any problems there was always someone to contact, plus we had a space for everything, to ask questions, share our social networks, share photos and music, share web3 works, in short, there were endless activities that sought not only to take advantage of the community but to connect all of us.
I think the course had a positive impact on my education and even more on my relationship with the web3 world, seeing so many opportunities that can be realized in this ecosystem motivates me to continue learning, but also to take advantage of opportunities based on my knowledge and experience. I would like to be able to teach everything I learned to more women in my country, because it is something that is always missing to be able to adopt these new tools and that is web3 education.
Although this course is not over yet, I think I took full advantage of the whole experience, I learned many things and met great people. So, if you ask me if I recommend the program, I would say yes, it is really something unique that I would like more women to live it, be part of this nice community where you will learn about DeFi.
If you have some, little or no knowledge in web3, I invite you to apply for the next cohort, you will see that you will not be disappointed and it will be the best option you can take for your education. To keep up to date with the information you can follow the community on X, Instagram and Linkedin.
Don't be afraid to try new things, from these experiences come the best opportunities in life, I encourage you not only to apply to the program but to continue educating yourself on these topics, to look for mentors and experts in the areas that interest you, and start exploring this world that so many want to know.
Thanks for reading me and have a great day.
