The Headlines 🗞️

Crypto in Color at AfroTech 🔥

We hosted our third-ever “Crypto in Color” dinner at Afrotech Austin! It was a vibrant and meaningful evening of conversation hosted by Visa.  We love breaking bread & boundaries in community.

“Crypto in Color” is an HCP community initiative focused on educating and empowering diverse individuals to take advantage of wealth generation through crypto & Web3. 

Key themes we discussed: 

🧱 Market: Are you embracing the 'build market' or hibernating?
🧨 Passion: What drives your interest & time towards Web3?
💡 Insights: What’s the most important unspoken truth or question you have?
🫱🏻‍🫲🏽 Community: Who helps you learn & grow in this space?
