We’re coming up on the end of my first month working full time in the Web3 industry as a community manager and I want to share some things.

Today I sat down in a video chat with the founder of Monograma and the mother of a young girl with autism from Nebraska.

On our call, I couldn’t help but feel genuinely proud of what we were doing.

This feeling hasn’t always been a familiar one throughout my life but it is growing on me.

It felt like sitting here in Virginia, talking to a Frenchman living in South America and a mother from India living in the Midwest US I was finally doing something more than just living every day to power the machine that enslaves us all.

Our group came into contact with this girl and her family through a giveaway hosted by Monograma, SuperWorld and one of our artists Eli , a start to a movement called #ARevolution.

Eli recently painted a series speaking out against the military dictatorship in his country, Nigeria, and these works are permanently geo tagged to the spot where the government slaughtered a group of students. The powerful artwork is available for free for anyone to view and pin in their own space using the mobile app, raising awareness globally for an event that dramatically marks a need for change.

This blend of bold street art political activitism with AR technology to 1. keep the artist moderately safe in a hostile environment (safer than a permanent mural on the street) 2. achieve virality and global reach of message, is ground breaking and blows my mind.

The plot of land tied to this in the SuperWorld metaverse was given away to someone who tweeted a video of the artwork in AR in their place of choice. We saw so many amazing entries from all over the world, cozy living rooms, bright beaches, clear mountain tops and in the end this girl from Nebraska won.

We talked about our upcoming project “Guardians”.

Dozens of works of crypto art from all around the world inspired by Amazonian guardian spirits will be geo-tagged in the SuperWorld system as protectors of the threatened border of the Paiter Surui and Cinta Larga Tribes.

After launch, they will be viewable in AR on your cell phone for free through the SuperWorld app and will spread global awareness of the threats facing the Amazon rainforest and its native tribes while also striving to preserve some of their culture from encroching colonialism.

The mother was so excited to use this as a teaching opportunity for her daughter, to show her the tribes, their proud culture, and perilous future. The girl can then reach out with her art and choose to stand side by side in their fight through the technology of this dawning metaverse.

It was hard not to tear up on the call.

This is just the beginning.

We can set the foundation for a better future but we have to work fast because the powers that be will do everything they can to keep us in place.

We can have a global, connected society while preserving unique heritages and culture.
