“BWBC offers me the opportunity to learn through practical experiences while contributing to the blockchain community. I am positive that this will be an exciting and productive experience for me.”

My name is Nwogu Ihuoma Esther. I am a young female who has become passionate about the Blockchain. I started studying about blockchain technology recently in my bid to properly understand the concept of Non Fungible Tokens and with each new information comes the need to know more and explore further. There is no certainty to the limits of blockchain and I believe that there are many opportunities that this technology offer, solutions to numerous world problems possibly. I needed to learn more, increase my skill set and actively contribute positively to the change that is currently happening.

Being part of a top tier community that does not just promote blockchain adoption but also advocate the need to bridge diversity gap in the blockchain ecosystem through mentorship, training and networking to include more block women who will contribute in an innovative manner to the ecosystem, would definitely be a great way to get involved actively in the blockchain community.

So I am honored to be interning at Black Women in Blockchain Council alongside other strong smart women on a mission. BWBC offers me the opportunity to learn through practical experiences while contributing to the blockchain community. I am positive that this will be an exciting and productive experience for me.

“This internship, provides me a safe space, to truly understand, explore with our hindrances, and contribute to the space, build a supportive and rich network of amazing women”

Finding a safe space to learn and contribute in the blockchain ecosystem has been a desire for me as a non-coding woman in tech.

Recent times I have been studying to understand the technology of blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs and the metaverse. Theses systems provide enormous opportunities for women to create and in particular Africa to grow and thrive irrespective of the unique economic challenges.

Joining the Black Women Blockchain Council gives me the opportunity to learn from amazing women that have years of experience and have the passion to learn, teach and build a generation that maximizes the opportunities of Blockchain’s disruptive technology. This internship, provides me a safe space, to truly understand, explore with our hindrances, and contribute to the space, build a supportive and rich network of amazing women that are taking bold steps and constantly re-inventing themselves.

It’s truly an honor.

“Adding organizations that potential employers will recognize is a great way to get a leg up in a competitive job market, and that is why I have decided to be an intern at Black Women Blockchain Council.”

An internship is a short-term work experience offered by companies and other organizations for people usually students, but not always—to get some entry-level exposure to a particular industry or field.

It is as much of a learning experience as it is work. Ideally, interns spend their time working on relevant projects, learning about the field, making industry connections, and developing both hard and soft skills. Internships sometimes even lead to full-time job offers.

Perhaps one of the most important things an internship can offer is the chance to learn new skills and gain experience. Also to lay the foundation for ones career.

Many organizations consider former interns for full-time positions over other applicants. When researching internships it helps to look for companies that anticipate hiring full-time staff in the near future, or have been known to hire interns in the past. These internship positions have the potential to jump start one’s career.

In addition to gaining skills, it is important to consider how an internship will look on a resume. If two internships are offering similar positions or skill training, one must think about which organization is most reputable.

A well-known organization is preferable when building a resume. Adding organizations that potential employers will recognize is a great way to get a leg up in a competitive job market, and that is why I have decided to be an intern at Black Women Blockchain Council.

“This visibility will only further black women in blockchain because seeing ourselves make powerful moves let’s a sister know that she can do it too!”

Interning with Black Women Blockchain Council (BWBC) means opportunity, not just for me, but for digital technology itself. It means I’m part of a team that ensures that blockchain technology reaches its potential, which is only possible if our potential is part of the equation. It means I’m a builder, contributing to the expansion of web3 and ensuring that it accommodates every flavor of human, and delivers on its promise of barrier free, equitable opportunity. It means I’m actively supporting the vision to promote future leaders, to encourage economic inclusion, and to build the world I want to thrive in.

A real-world application presented itself days after my internship began: at a Consensus2022 panel discussion for women in web3, a young man admitted that he and his team of founders couldn’t find diverse candidates for their roles. There was sudden silence, as those of us whose circles are inundated with just such candidates couldn’t fathom that he’d have any difficulty finding this large pool of talent so evident to us. I made a beeline to him, sharing BWBC’s website so he’d know exactly where to access black women candidates.

On another note, internships are generally targeted towards the young in preparation for their working career ahead. While I’ve “been around the block” as they say, I’m a complete novice (or newbie) in the digital tech world, and to succeed here I too need the opportunities that an internship affords. It’s exciting that BWBC sees age as no barrier.

With quantum learning and A.I. as major players in the medical field, we’ll be living a long time, and women of all ages need to equip ourselves with the knowledge and confidence to navigate technologies of the future. With this internship I can support an organization that is meaningfully changing the landscape by promoting our presence and our excellence, which often isn’t recognized ‘til long after the fact. This visibility will only further black women in blockchain because seeing ourselves make powerful moves let’s a sister know that she can do it too!

Being a member of the Black Women Blockchain Council (BWBC) internship makes me incredibly happy.

I’m appreciative that Ms. Olayinka and the group were able to make this happen.

I’ve spoken to a few other interns, and I’m excited about the variety of people I’ll be working and exchanging ideas with.

These women are not only intelligent, but they also possess the will to advance.

This inspires me because I know that by working together, we can accomplish great things.

By enrolling in the courses offered during the internship, I aim to gain a deeper understanding of NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and the metaverse. Additionally, the internship provides an opportunity for networking and attendance at events where blockchain specialists will be speaking.

I consider the internship as a chance to improve my decentralized application coding skills in order to tackle some common difficulties.

My internship responsibilities include helping BWBC engage in hackathons and perhaps even host one.

I’m eager to take part in hackathons and discover more about them.

“I believe that the true potential of this technology can only be achieved with communal effort.”

My first encounter with blockchain technology was as a tool to help creatives own and monetize their work. All I saw was a technology that offered freedom and disruption. Since then I decided that I must identify as one of those who champion this change in society. I believe that the true potential of this technology can only be achieved with communal effort and this is why I was really interested when I saw the call for internships at the Black Women Blockchain Council (BWBC). BWBC not only offered me this, but also the chance to drive this change with smart and awesome women, to other women. Driving blockchain adoption is important to me, and I am confident that this internship with BWBC would allow me to use my skills to achieve just that and more!
