Happy National Disability Day! ♿ Today, we're proud to introduce you to Blue Eye Queen from our Operations team, who will share what #NationalDisabilityDay means to her and how the celebration of diverse abilities extends beyond the workplace 💙.
Blueeyequeen or “Blue”, is a passionate disability advocate, using her voice to speak up for those who may not be able to. As a co-founding member of our DEI Committee at Yuga, she actively works towards creating a more inclusive environment at Yuga and beyond. She’s a beta tester for robotic suits that enhance mobility for people with disabilities, a TedX closing speaker, and a talented abstract artist. Her love for culture and language has taken her on incredible journeys to 38 countries!

⚒️ 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."
