Episode Overview
In this episode of Token for Your Thoughts, host Lindsey McConaghy speaks with Veronica Kirin, anthropologist, author, and founder of Asterisk Women's Health, about rewriting the rules of women’s health and what it means to build a data-first DAO that gives women ownership and a voice.
They cover how Asterisk is:
• Building the first female-specific data lake
• Giving women the power to vote on what health research gets funded
• Tackling the non-reproductive health data gap (spoiler: it’s massive)
• Creating tools that make it easier for clinicians to access real-world data

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
