The Steemit universe is ever-expanding. To see it grow from such an early stage as this is like watching a village built from the ground-up. It's invigorating, inspiring, and it leaves me full of ideas for the community. This is how Ladies of Steemit came to be.
Each of the three initiatives I'm showcasing today are created and driven by women on this platform. Each of them different, extraordinary, and serving communities on Steemit with incredible opportunities.
