Hey @rocketman
Thanks for these important questions.
Since January, I've been studying the Web3 universe, and for a few months I had the opportunity to receive a small grant from Nouns to deliver food health workshops for neurodivergent populations with peripheral women and community health agents in Brazil. Even with limited resources, we were able to mobilize engagement, build important connections, and, most importantly, begin shaping a narrative where people historically invisibilized can see themselves as part of a decentralized future.
Regarding the sustainability model, our approach is hybrid: the school behind this program combines scholarships (through the grant we already have from The Pollination Project) with other paid courses, and we are also planning additional revenue streams through the physical space under development (catering, events, content production). 0 reply

The Web3 layer comes in as an amplifier, especially because we see it as the most powerful and accessible tool for emancipation for people who, historically, have never been given space. It helps us transcend the colonial bureaucracies in Brazil that so often act as gatekeepers to access. Hive, especially through Ecency, has proven to be a very community-driven and supportive space, with several “minority” communities already changing their realities and inspiring others to do the same, being directly rewarded in the process. So far, direct earnings have been modest (as expected at this learning stage), but it has allowed us to test strategies that align with our vision for achieving community engagement. When I say “we,” I include under this umbrella partners like the team from Bless Skate Shop and BlackChain, as we continue supporting each other’s projects and growing together. 0 reply
