"Greetings, I'm Blueeyequeen, also known as Blue, BEQ, or Queen. I've been a part of our Operations team since last January, and being in a startup feels like a whirlwind adventure every day.

⚒️ How has your disability influenced your career path?
"For privacy reasons, I maintain anonymity on many platforms to avoid any unfair treatment based on my identity. Working in web3 offers me a unique opportunity to have a voice and create an identity while remaining anonymous. At Yuga, my physical disability does not serve as a barrier because my passion and determination fuel my work, and this mindset resonates throughout the company."
