WHY 50MM COLLECTIVE?

Today, I want to talk about Why I started the 50MM Collective. When I first got started in NFTs in 2021, I noticed a lot of talk about finding and being part of great communities. But as someone who is mixed-race and transgender, I struggled to find a community where I truly felt represented.
Growing up in Holland, Michigan, a predominantly white area, I often felt like the only person who looked like me. This feeling continued even when I joined different online communities. It's an isolating experience not to feel seen, heard, or understood. And when you internalize these feelings, it gives power to your inner critic – that little voice telling you that you're not good enough and that what you're doing doesn't matter.

That's why I created the 50MM Collective. This collective is about creating art and NFTs and building a space where everyone can feel like they belong. Our goal is to empower and uplift underrepresented voices in the NFT community. We believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated for their unique experiences and perspectives.

That's why I started the Fiddy Fam Friday series on my Twitter! (also live-streamed to YouTube & Kick) It's a way for us to showcase the incredible talent and stories of our community members. It's about creating a platform to amplify each other's voices and break down the barriers that have held us back for too long.

So, if you've ever felt like you don't fit in or haven't had your story heard, I encourage you to join the 50MM Collective and become part of the Fiddy Fam. Together, we can build a community that supports and uplifts each other, and create a billion-dollar brand that represents and celebrates diversity.

Thank you for watching, and I'll see you in the next video. Stay inspired, stay motivated, and keep building that billion-dollar brand.
