The Data Doesn't Lie: You Like The Femmebots!
The TikTok videos featuring Dr. Nutmeg’s new fleet of Femmebots are getting 💓💕 hearts from the algorithms. Woot!
Thanks to all you VIP Kickstarters for your interest in the mock zine of The Femmebots. We got an 82.4% open rate. Woot! We love seeing those kinds of numbers. Why? Because numbers are like Shakira’s hips: They don’t lie.
OK, OK… there were 17 people on the email list, but hey, a high email open rate is testament to a quality subscriber base. Our know-it-all investors at Georgic Media, LLC say so after more than 20 years managing several DC-based nonprofit email lists. But the real test will be converting the hundreds of TikTok viewers into merchandise-buying followers!
Entonces, click on Bad Bunny to support our Latinas in Tech mentee Edith Quintanilla (who is also devising a merchandising strategy for her art), then scroll down to see a sizzle of Dr. Nutmeg’s interview with Miami Film Lab’s Isabel Custer (who reminded us of Mel Brooks’s basic biz model for “Spaceballs”), and sign up today for a few workshops in Q1 to upgrade all your skillz along with the Femmebots! Happy Winter Solstice, everyone!
And now, let’s get back to the show!

Who Are We?
Our current team is Melanie Feliciano (Dr. Nutz), Tic Bowen, Jonathan Jarrett, the Latinas in Data (Gilda Alvarez and Lucrecia Krause), and a couple of Latinas in Tech (Edith Quintanilla and Marisa Diaz!)
Since August 2023, we’ve collectively spent about 89.7 hours ($4500) re-building the FACTory and connecting with a REAL fleet of Femmebots on TikTok.
We are not paid for this venture, but all expenses right now are coming from Georgic Media, LLC thru March 31, 2023 (Q1).
After much trial and error, we understand that a quarter is the minimum and maximum amount of time to invest in a project that does not pay.
{Time for an IF, THEN statement;} !!!
IF we engage our TikTok audience in the next three months with the following online events, THEN we will continue publishing in Q2. DEAL? In the meantime….

Who Am I?
I’m Melanie Feliciano. Why am I the person to fill the hole in feminist journalism?
I’m not. But I LOVE promoting women doing REALLY COOL shit. Before I launched The Femmebots at Art Basel in Miami in 2009, I had the opportunity to interview for the editor position at Latina Magazine. Part of the interview process was to deconstruct an issue of the magazine and put it back together. I did the thing I KNEW would disqualify me for the job:
I moved all the advertising to the back of the magazine.
Blame it on my years spent as managing editor of YouthOutlook.org and a writer for New America Media in San Francisco and managing editor of the Biscayne Times in Miami. I am a journalist who ALWAYS puts the FACTs front-and-center.
And now I’m trying out Substack…so:
