Shades of Sol to Launch NFT Project that Celebrates Black Women in the NFT Space
The project is partnering with Nigeria’s largest female-led NGO, Stand to End Rape, with 10% of proceeds going to black, female-led charities.
MELBOURNE, VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA, April 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Shades of Sol is pleased to announce the upcoming virtual exhibition release of its NFT project designed to encourage black women into the NFT space, while supporting black, female-led charities around the world.
Shades of Sol is a black-owned and created project of 7,777 NFTs focused on inspiring the next generation of black female leaders. Each collectible has unique traits inspired by people, culture, and places and is the first Solana-based NFT project with its own Virtual Reality Exhibition of the company’s first release NFTs. Not only that, but the project’s mission is to give back to black women and their communities, making this a ground-breaking project in more ways than one.
“To celebrate and encourage black women, we felt it was important to partner with Nigeria’s largest female-led NGO, STER (Stand to End Rape), with 10% of our profit proceeds going to black, female-led charities across the globe,” says Co-Founder of Shades of Sol, Yanum Moothoosamy. “STER is a youth-led social enterprise advocating against sexual violence, providing prevention mechanisms, and supporting survivors with psychosocial services they desperately need. We couldn’t be more humbled to support such a worthy charity.”
Shades of Sol is set to be released in early April 2022 with an exclusive pre-sale of only 250 SOS NFTs being made available in the first release. The project will boast numerous benefits and features for investors, including:
• Virtual Reality Gallery
• Exclusive benefits for long-term holders
• Hyper-exclusive benefits for early investors/members
• Spaces for black women to feel safe in Web3 and the Metaverse
Additionally, Shades of Sol aims to create one of the first animated sitcoms, based on SoS NFT characters, to promote inclusivity for young black girls of all backgrounds. The sitcom will be viewable in the Metaverse and then publicly.
