I'm excited to be among the first creators to be able to share NFT's on IG and it's my honor to have acquired a piece from Sunrise Art Club.

The chance to be a part of a global community that celebrates Justice, Opportunity, and Community and centers education and wellbeing in empowering WOC is beautiful. I am learning and am inspired by all the artists, creators and collectors I meet. The dawn of a new day is represented by this image.

The CEO of the company will be coming to Facebook soon.
