2 cities. 2 universities. Hundreds of ideas. That’s Audacious Girl.
I got to be a business trainer on the tour and lead the Build Lab at both stops, the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Arizona State in Phoenix. They came with an idea. They left with real tools to start on it. Their idea, their future, their move.
Thank you to the Audacious Girl team @bosswomenmedia and @jennifdb @crypto_tutors @ninabobena @fancyfied for making it happen, and to all the local founders and volunteers who showed up.

#AfroTech wasn’t just a conference — it was confirmation.

As co-founder of @crypto_tutors and co-inventor of @defialloddsofficial, I showed up to Houston focused on partnerships and pipeline… and walked away with alignment + acceleration.

✨ @ninabobena & I reunited with our former @linkedin family @jacjones_10 @deserrieperez @kristenbarnettnyc @illianna_a & so many more — the bonds are still unbreakable.

🔥 Leaders from @goldmansachs @fidelityinvestments @invescous didn’t just listen… they offered intros to the right stakeholders.

🚀 The @linkedin x @accenture x @microsoft for Startups #founder event opened new pathways to scale including $250K worth of @microsoft Azure cloud computing credits which were awarded to us 🥹 #gamechanger — priceless insight from execs + powerful conversations with LinkedIn’s product team.

In the midst of it all, I spoke @congressionalblackcaucus Policy Pathways to Economic Opportunity and Advancement. The session, Financing Black Futures: Investing in Black Businesses to Grow America’s Future was a major success & I am honored to have spoken about the #innovation economy.

We wrapped the trip celebrating my soul sister @tyronaheath birthday because abundance is not just opportunity… it’s the people who show up for you & are your framily like @techwithx 🫶🏾

Grateful. Energized. Activated.
@afro.tech you owe me nothing — see you next year. ✨

PS: @defialloddsofficial platform is ensuring everyone is prepared & eligible for jobs of the future today!

Incredibly proud moment for DeFi All Odds 🎉

Being named a Cade Prize for Inventivity finalist validates the innovative technology our team has been building. Meeting Chris, Nvidia Co-Founder, was especially meaningful given how much GPU computing powers DeFi infrastructure.

This recognition belongs to our entire team! Nina Blankenship, Lisa Fancyfied Francoeur, Thapelo Whitfield, Ph.D., and Moeti Ncube have been instrumental in bringing our technical vision to life.

Grateful to Jack Henkel, Bradley Gamble, Paul A. Sohl, Phoebe Miles, Grant Posner, and Herb Jones for believing in what we're building.

Go Gators! 🐊

My first outing without my Locs!

Had to go to DC to show the @crypto_tutors and @thebitcoinclassic some love at #HowardUniversity!

From teaching people about #Bitcoin to watching a basketball tournament where they #PayInBitcoin, it was a great day!

… but before all that, had to run 10 miles with the homie @whtup_chuck and @districtrunningcollective

… what’s wild was, this is when I first saw my face on the ad WITH MY LOCS! 😂😭😂😭😂

The Irony! 🤣

@crypto_tutors just wrapped up the thought-provoking and exhilarating @negrocollegefund United Negro College Fund UNITE conference, where we participated in the “Meeting of the Minds.”

The focus revolved around Building HBCU 2.0 – Reimagining Our Institutions as Hubs of Innovation, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship and Engines of Economic Growth.

Our discussion addressed the tremendous opportunities the world of #web3 offers from an employment standpoint, the intersection of #ai x #blockchain and as a global, economic driver with a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 66% which is explosive 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Uniting with so many brilliant thought leaders including our very own Crypto Tutors lead engineer @ikeen4n #DEI pioneer @iamcorderodavis @erinhmckinney National Executive Director @howard1867 & so many more, reaffirmed that we are the ones we’ve been looking for & we stand on the right side of the future!

#atlanta & @fourseasons you owe me nothing 💫

What an incredible time to be alive!!! This week was monumental! Not only was I able to connect w/ my fellow #cryptobabe @thewrightsuccess now making even more #bossbabe moves @cryptochainlink We were able to celebrate life #followyourbliss 💫

Additionally I’m excited to announce that I graduated from the NSF (National Science Foundation) iCorp (#innovation corp) SBIR Spring 2024 Cohort! Our company @crypto_tutors received our Phase I grant from the NSF in December 2023, allowing us to continue building on our #web3 technological innovations. Keep in mind NSF is the most competitive federal grant you can get in the USA Non Dilutive Capital 💸💸💸 w/ a less than 5% acceptance rate #wedidthat 💪🏾

We are now striving to secure Phase II funding, joining the ranks of industry giants like Apple, Tesla, and Google. With our SBIR funding, we are committed to ethically and inclusively engineering the future of emerging technology!
