π 1. Hi everyone my name is Jessica Zartler, and I am a nomad who recently smuggled myself into Canada π Originally from Florida but have been living abroad for 8 years - Thailand/Germany/Japan/Ecuador/Norway... Jack of all trades, master of none.
I am a tech anthropologist, journalist, researcher, strategist & community cross-pollinator who often lands in the role of "translating" between various communities/lexicon to share stories and bring the attention and focus to the context & "why" of projects, weaving ideas together for more ecological and holistic approaches.
π± 2. While researching some time ago, started going down the π°hole of community currencies and see this as one of the highest leverage ways to affect change in our values systems and support individuals (including me!) and communities to liberate themselves to create and exist freely.
Currently working with several open-sourced non-profits: CommonsStack.org, VerusCoin.io (Public Blockchains as a Service), cadCAD.org hopefully more soon with 1Hive.org & Grassroots Economics and the CCA! Look forward to getting to know you all and sharing the stories of these projects/movements ππΌπ±π
π₯ 3. Online search will bring some random results/Linkedin not so updated/Twitter or say hi on Telegram @jessicazartler π Recently became a contributor on Hacker Noon
