Nevins sees little possibility for traditional financial systems to be reworked and thinks that building something new is necessary to uplift people who are marginalized and underrepresented.When first starting out, Nevins noticed a lack of diversity in the industry and saw an opportunity to build a more equitable space for creators of color. "There weren't many Black artists, or if they were there, they were really hard to find," she says.
The current application process for many NFT marketplaces also enforces a culture where only those with an "in" can succeed, Nevins says. "That's problematic because if you're not actively building relationships with Black people in the space, how are you going to get Black artists on the platform?" she says.
