Knowledge is Power but Access Equals Success
In 2018, I became interested in Bitcoin after hearing all of the hype about the amount of money that could be made. I invested but I didn’t make millions. I delved into Bitcoin and learned there was more to the cryptocurrency, which led me to become a Certified Blockchain Expert. I discovered it could be a game changer among the disenfranchised and a vehicle to successful entrepreneurship. I began a journey to empower, educate, and advocate for Diversity in Blockchain by presenting at conferences focused on minorities and women.
As a founding delegate for the National Policy Network for Women of Color in Blockchain, I met with members of the US Congress, House Representatives Financial Services to Committee, to discuss legislation and make recommendations to be more inclusive. At the local level, I have testified before the Ohio House of Assembly to lobby for Blockchain legislation. I currently serve as the Chapter Lead for the Government Blockchain Association in Columbus, Ohio. Finally, I serve as member of a coalition of Ohio companies advancing Blockchain in throughout the state.
