Awaken Your Inner Child - The story behind the movement

In this episode, we share the story behind Awaken Your Inner Child, the inaugural NFT Giving drop on ChangeDAO’s first-of-its-kind independent platform for NFT Giving. Awaken Your Inner Child is an NFT collection featuring “refrigerator-worthy” art by the Inner Children, a group of 27 altruistic NFT artists and Web3 thought leaders. Funds raised through primary mint sales benefited Upbring’s Crypto Endowment Fund for Better Childhoods, a fund dedicated to fueling innovation in child welfare. In this episode, we hear from lead Changemakers Bryan Brinkman and Rizzle, the artists behind the drop, the cause that was at the heart of the project, Upbring Innovation Labs, and ChangeDAO Core Team members David All and Kelsey Driscoll.
