“Cryptocurrencies don't require a gatekeeper — which is very important for minority communities that have been systematically marginalized and intentionally red-lined. You need to be in this like yesterday.”
Tonya M. Evans, Esq, is a published author, investor, entrepreneur, and tenured professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law School with expertise on how decentralized financial systems (blockchains, cryptocurrencies, NFT) can be impactful for minority communities. Prof. Evans was named to the prestigious Forbes 50 Over 50 List in the category of Investment to honor 50 women who are shaping the future of finance, fueling high-growth businesses, and forging a more innovative and inclusive financial future. From her time as an elite athlete (she was the #1 player on the BOYS tennis team) to Lady180 rapper (she spits a few bars for us), she has always spoken her truth. Through her work, she continues to educate those on the values of property ownership in an increasingly decentralized and tech-driven economy - which can help close the wealth gap among minority communities. And while Raman was on a “field trip” to Arrakis, FrieMMd of the Pod + Canadian Podcaster Melissa Haughton joined Sharon to talk with Professor Tonya in only a way that she and Sharon could.
