Using her own lived experience as a black queer woman, and the inciteful statistics from the FDIC, International Monetary Fund, Ariel/Schwab report on Black Crypto Investors, she discusses the ways that technology can (and should) be used to decentralize work, wealth and creativity in a way that achieves the optimal balance between encouraging robust innovation; protects consumers, investors and businesses; ensures transparency balanced with financial privacy, and promotes access balanced with security especially for those who have been historically and systemically disenfranchised in the current financial system.

From Cash to Crypto: Financial Inclusion in the New Digital Cash Frontier

If you’ve been looking for an unbiased, supportive and straightforward way to learn how cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology are transforming the future of work and wealth.

But she’s done the heavy lifting through the jumbled jargon and fringy buzz words to demystify the echo chamber and clarify how to participate fully in a supportive, inclusive environment.

Professor Evans empowers underestimated life-long learners traditionally locked out of tech and finance to take control of their financial futures and participate in the new digital cash economy safely, legally and confidently in a welcoming space so they can stay ahead of the curve and create autonomy, opportunity and generational wealth in the fast-paced, tech-driven world.

Decode the Future of Work and Wealth

Most crypto educators teach you what digital money is: how to buy it, trade it, “HODL” it and sell it. However, those courses rarely, if ever, prepare you for the legal consequences of missteps and misinformation. But ignorance of the law is no excuse. And relying on search engines, social media or anyone who starts a sentence with “I’m not a lawyer but …” is a recipe for legal disaster. Getting into crypto, DeFi, and NFTs without a solid foundation in the legal implications, can get you into really hot water and expose you and your assets to unnecessary risk and potential legal liability.

In this presentation, noted crypto law and policy expert and educator, Professor Tonya M. Evans shares her crypto asset blueprint to achieve access, inclusion, and empowerment in the new decentralized finance economy so you can engage safely, legally, and confidently in the future of work and wealth.
