Creative mom, and NFT curator Nicole Yap started 8SIAN after seeing the lack of women and Asian representation in the amazing world of Web3. Now she pursues uplifting the minority and putting them on a pedestal for the metaverse to see.
If you’re a woman looking to dip your toes in NFTs, all it takes is a curious mind and the courage to ask.

“My grandpa came from China in the 1940s and settled down in Malaysia. Growing up, I was taught about my culture but was never proud of my identity and never had an interest in learning the Chinese language. I idolized the Western way of life and had unknowingly forgotten about my heritage. After becoming a mom, it struck me:
Our cultural roots are a part of our identity, and our responsibility is to preserve it for the next generations.”
Nicole Yap started exploring the fascinating world of NFTs but was disheartened by what she largely saw as a male-dominated space. She longed for something that resonated with her identity as a strong Asian woman. A moment of inspiration came to her – she felt that the NFT space could be repurposed to celebrate and showcase Asian art and culture.
