Unstoppable Women of Web3 (UWOW3) and AudPop challenged women to get more involved in Web3. Not surprisingly, women took the challenge!
Though, before we get started, what is Web3? Indeed, we all know what the internet is. Maybe we even know there have been two versions so far, and we’re on version two. Web3 is a third-generation, all-inclusive, transparent, and socially responsible internet. Of course, we want more women involved. We’d be crazy not to.
UWOW3 and AudPop TikTok Video Contest
UWOW3 and AudPop launched a TikTok Video Contest to engage women into talking about Web3. The idea was simple. Create and submit a TikTok video. Feature a woman describing her knowledge, passion, and experience in Web3. Filmmakers also needed to address three questions:
- What Web3 meant to them.
- Why the interest in Web3.
- What they wished they knew before starting their Web3 journey.
Furthermore, they needed to invite all viewers to engage. Join in the conversation on March 8 on Twitter Spaces. Follow @UnstoppableWow3 on Twitter and #UWOW3.
Consequently, AudPop received many videos, and posted them throughout social media. Basically, the idea was to draw as much attention to the collaboration. Also, we wanted to get women involved in the discussion of Web3 on Twitter Spaces. As well as the YouTube Live event hosted by UWOW3 on March 8.
The March 8 event lasted 24 hours. Women discussed Web3 on a multitude of panels. Basically, they addressed why involving more women from the ground up is imperative.
The CEO of AudPop, Paige Williams, hosted a panel with AudPop’s CCO Vivien Vitolo. Williams and Vitolo emphatically discussed the importance of Web3 and getting women involved. Scilla Andreen, founder of IndieFlix participated. Sara Quiriconi, the Grand Prize winner of the TikTok Video Contest also joined in. And Al Pacino’s daughter, Julie Pacino, took part in Williams and Vitolo’s panel. Robust discussion ensued because empowering women is important to all who contributed. As a side note, Julie Pacino has raised funds for the first fully-funded NFT film. Pacino will begin filming this summer in San Luis Obispo, CA.
The panels were passionate, engaged, and well attended. It was a success and a great way to get women talking about Web3 and how they can get fired up and involved.
