It’s undeniable that white men dominate the world of blockchain assets. Denina was aware of this when she entered the space because she wanted to change perceptions. She also wanted to be a positive influence on ‘people who look like her’ (via CNBC).
Denina believes that NFTs offer more opportunities for diversity than traditional galleries. She sees the latter as a product of a by-gone era and bemoans their lack of risk-taking. In just a few months she made hundreds of thousands of dollars after learning what NFTs are.
