A few months back my friend & business associate Carly @ogc. Carly & I call each other our P.I.C. "partner in crime." Hahahaha. Carly said she'd like to talk about a idea she was formulating. Of course; love to hear what was going on. She then explained to me the initial thoughts about working with other women on Steem. Having a place & a voice on the blockchain.

Instantly fell in love with the idea. Over the next few weeks @ogc's idea began to take shape. She assembled a super group of women on Steem. They would all work together. Sharing equally in the work & equally in contributing to help others on the blockchain.

Thus the "Muse Project" @museproject was born.

The Muse Project Mission Statement
“Enlightening and empowering women in the blockchain & beyond.”

This is the 5 founding members of the "Muse Project."

This comes directly from their introducutory post @museproject.

"In Greek mythology, the Muses were the goddesses of inspiration. They were said to inspire the creation of epic poetry, beautiful works of art, and noble stories. The modern muse is still one that inspires others to create their own unique works, though the means of creation have changed and evolved. In this time of exponentially evolving technology, the Muse Project aims to uplift women through the creation of heartfelt content.

Who Are We?
The Muse Project is backed and guided by a collective of five powerful female founders that have come together through a mutual love of the Steem blockchain and a desire to make the community stronger. Each woman has a unique gift to offer the community. Not only does each one create quality content, it is also their goal to empower other women to find their creative voice."

"What Do We Do?
This platform is a marriage of technology and the art of creation. Because this model is so new, there can be challenges in navigating the waters. The Muse Project is a source for women to find support in the platform.

How Do We Do This?
Through a constant flow of enriching content from the collective, and also the content of featured female creators from the platform. The Muse Project is a model that will attribute 25% of post rewards towards a fund that goes directly back to female creators, in the way of a scholarship. Women can apply for and gain funding for their project within a set of guidelines that are set to enrich both the creator and the community."

I feel that the "Muse Project" @museproject is incredibly important to not just the Steem universe but to global society. Please spread the word and share this with your friends. Let's help make this into something really specail.

Like to give a giant shout out to all the @steemcreators; all the people who were at the Steem Creators Conference, @canadian-coconut, @adamkokesh, all the early supporters of this amazing project, & all the future supporters.
