​The last couple of weeks have been busy, to say the least! To start, the 📜, 📜 Constitution DAO came together to buy a copy of the US Constitution, raising $47M and then losing at the Sotheby’s auction. Albeit the bid failed, something was won: the hearts and minds of people who reject the status quo and believe in changing where the world goes from here in community.

​As a community-driven investor, none of this surprises me and I welcome Web 3.0, NFTs (the newest term in the dictionary), & Crypto Cities!

​And here in 🇲🇽 Mexico, on 11/15, we celebrated Revolution Day, a national holiday to celebrate heroes who ended the struggle and helped reform Mexico. As a Mexican-American woman, I felt proud when I learned about Adelitas, Mexican women soldiers who fought in battle and made sh*t happen. And, although women are still objectified and often marginalized, we cannot deny that we women always fight the fight for what’s right!

​Finally, there was 🦃 Thanksgiving! Hope you had a good one. Josh & I celebrated with new friends in Mexico City and reflected on what we’re thankful for. TL;DR I'm grateful for my family, for you, and our community.

​On that last note, stay tuned for your invite to the LaaS Community! It's coming soon!
