Kimberly shares her journey from traditional banking into blockchain and crypto, explaining what pushed her to leave a rigid financial system and build a company centered on trust, education, and inclusion. As a mother of four and a Latina founder, she offers a powerful perspective on legacy, resilience, and why women must play a leading role in shaping the future of finance.
