Written by Anora

There are powerful forces in Somnium Space Metaverse. Among the many talented individuals are the women of Somnium moving and shaping the platform as only a woman can. Adding in fantastical nuances to the canvas of the platform, and making it widely diverse and stunning. With a bold and feminine flare the women of Somnium are defying odds and making a magical difference.

Within the beauty of a woman holds the strength and power to build up generations, truly cultivating paths for the next generations! As for the Metaverse, the women on the platform are doing just that! Through self expression, through galleries, to running full fledged businesses! These women are here to make waves and changes for the generations to come.

The Empowering Female Presence

Women are playing a key role in molding and enriching the Metaverse. In their exploration of this digital landscape they are pioneering new ways, new thoughts, and so much more. Their presence is empowering, as they bring their diverse perspectives, creativity, and innovation to the Metaverse.

They actively participate as creators, developers, entrepreneurs, and even as everyday community members, contributing as vital individuals within virtual reality. By actively contributing to the development and design of virtual experiences, women are helping to create a more inclusive and engaging environment for all users. World creator and singer-songwriter Oly, had a few remarks on this topic:

”As a woman in Somnium, it’s exciting bringing a feminine perspective to VR environments, social events and play. There are less women than men in VR overall, so it feels essential to express my genuine self and mind as representative of that niche part of the market. Diverse representation is most important in every industry to ensure a vibrant, decentralized culture – a legitimately democratized future. Feminine expression only adds needed balance to the powerful, widespread social experience the VR is. Anything else would be redundant.”

Breaking Barriers and Promoting Inclusivity

Women in the Metaverse are breaking traditional barriers and promoting inclusivity. They are challenging the notion that technology and virtual spaces are male-dominated by showcasing their talents and skills. By doing so, they inspire and encourage other women to join the Metaverse, fostering a sense of community and support. Carrie Able, art extraordinaire and musician, sheds some light about her experience:

”My first thought might be that in the real world women face a lot of barriers and boundaries due to safety or in some countries actual limitations and in VR women can be free. It has meant a lot to me meeting people of all backgrounds and genders who can present as they choose in an avatar and even experiment with multiple. Meeting Oly in VR was one of the most remarkable experiences for me. I will forever be grateful for this community and I know this is just the beginning!”

Driving Economic Opportunities

Women are seizing economic opportunities in the Metaverse by establishing their businesses, launching virtual marketplaces, simultaneously monetizing their creative endeavors. By leveraging their skills in virtual reality through programming, marketing and more women are generating income, and economic growth within the Metaverse. Their success and achievements inspire others to explore new possibilities and consider the Metaverse as a viable path for so many markets. Some women are even thinking about how to utilize the accessibility and functionality of the Metaverse to have their business have a broader reach so that people can have access to services from wherever they find themselves. The amazing Madaline Zannes at Zannes Law Firm is doing just that.

“In Somnium Space, my focus as a woman is all about breaking the mold and redefining how we work, collaborate, and connect remotely. Less of the traditional 9-to-5 grind, less carbon footprint from business travel, and more of experiencing shared journeys across time and space from the comfort of, well, anywhere. With a law office, conference, and resort set up in Somnium Web Worlds, it’s my way of running my business and brand differently. I’m all about using the Metaverse to redefine how we connect and innovate. We’re harnessing this digital revolution to create meaningful, diverse, and eco-friendly ways of interacting. The goal? To make virtual collaboration not just a substitute, but an upgrade to face-to-face interactions. Disrupting old ways in the world of law for the past decade has been a magnificent part of my journey, as a woman working in law and technology, leading into web3 and the Metaverse. At the end of the day, it’s all about harnessing the latest technologies available to create a more efficient and enjoyable future, one pixel at a time.”

Women are Promoting Change and Impacting so Many Within and Across Metaverse Spaces

Women in the Metaverse are utilizing their presence and skill sets to promote social change and make a positive impact on society. They are orchestrating events so that virtual platforms can raise awareness about important issues, organize charitable events, and support various causes. Adding a beautiful sense of community and gathering those around them to make the Metaverse even more powerful. By fostering a healthy dialogue, sense of empathy, and understanding among users, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and socially conscious digital space. Setting the stage for high standards and how those should contribute to the space. Nataliya Grimberg, fashion and luxury innovation consultant, shared what she thinks about women adding their expertise and individual uniqueness to the scene:

“I think bringing the balance between technology & beauty is most important for me at Somnium!” chiming in about how she’s mixing fashion into the Metaverse. Promoting all types of change in the space and within her industry.

There are women all over the platform making a difference, and shaping the landscape! In Somnium Space you can meet these amazing pioneer women, from all walks of life! Rock out with Crazy Nici at Monday Metal Madness, and experience what she is meaning when she says:

”Everyone in this community is welcoming, loving, and just FUN to be around! Great feeling!”

Or meet up with R00T on the platform, an amazing developer in Somnium Space who incorporates her skill of pole dancing and more.

The list is growing of women who are taking on the Metaverse and making their own unique impact.

In conclusion, women are making a positive impact in the Metaverse by empowering others, breaking barriers, driving economic opportunities, and promoting social change. Their active involvement and contributions are crucial in creating an inclusive and diverse digital world that benefits everyone. As the Metaverse continues to evolve and expand, the contributions of women will play an increasingly important role for the present day and the far off future. As a woman myself, I find it extremely intriguing and exciting to watch women arise in the Metaverse, and I’m looking forward to see their work flourish. Whilst lending a hand through my own contributions through writing and song.
