Recipient of White House’s Award of Excellence for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring – Junior Bernadin – Launches The Diversity Dollz NFT Collection
The Diversity Dollz is a collection of 10,000 diverse NFTs that are unique digital collectibles dedicated to supporting “women of color” in various areas like STEM professions, special needs, and HBCUs, and much more.
Fayetteville, Georgia, June 12, 2022, NFT collections are all the rage, but some are just collectable investments and a rare few also offer the possibility of changing and contributing to society. Such is the case with Junior Bernadin’s recently launched Diversity Dollz NFT Collection, which is dedicated to “Women of Color”. This unique NFT concept is all about improving Diversity & Inclusion in under-represented segments of society.
Many folks really want to be involved with helping worthy causes that target underserved areas like STEM, but don’t know of a place or hub dedicated to supporting these important causes. The mission of Diversity Dollz is to address some of these issues while encouraging exceptional talent and ideas from women of color. A portion of the proceeds will go into a foundation where NFT holders can vote on various initiatives and activations.
The Diversity Dollz NFT collection is part of Openexus’ “NFTs for a Cause.”, which are designed to bring awareness to various philanthropic causes and empower its community to support these causes. During a recent interview, Junior Bernadin, creator of this NFT collection, made these comments, “Each Diversity Doll is uniquely generated from over 180 possible traits, including nationalities, skin tones, hairstyles, outfits, eyes, and more.”
He goes on to say, “Some Diversity Dollz feature themes that include but are not limited to: STEM, HBCUs, autism, cerebral palsy, mental health, NF, sickle cell, diabetes, cancer, vitiligo, auditory and/or visual impairment, and much more. Regardless of the rarity of combined traits, each NFT sends an important message about the beauty of diversity and why representation matters.”
NFT’s are part of Web3.0 and enthusiasts are very motivated to make sure that it is not dominated by a few, but that it will be inclusive of Woman of Color and all underserved groups of society that want to be involved. This is often called the next generation of the Internet, as it resides on the Blockchain.
At a recent press event, Gavin Wood, who coined the term “Web 3.0” in 2014, made these comments, “Web3 is really sort of an alternative vision of the web, where the services that we use are not hosted by a single service provider company, but rather they’re sort of purely algorithmic things that are, in some sense, hosted by everybody. So, it’s very peer to peer. no one really has any advantage over anyone else The idea being that all participants sort of contribute a small slice of the ultimate service.”
