Lori Grace (@loriegraceaz) is the one who brought me into the light, like a lightning bolt in the midst of a storm. Lori is more than a flash of light ... Lori is a beacon of light. She is bright and bold, fearless and devoted. Lori HOLDS space, for herself and for others. She is very passionate about diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and authenticity. She stands for women, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized groups; she speaks out against bullying, belittling & other bullsh*t that should not take up any space; and she shares her own struggles in life openly and gracefully. Lori cultivates connections within the NFT community, providing perspective, experience, and mentorship. She holds "Women in NFT" Twitter Spaces discussing self-worth, body positivity, being authentic, and other topics intended to develop and empower others. Lori also wears her heart on her sleeve. She is willing to be vulnerable as a show of force. The way she articulates her experiences and impacts others resonates with me at my core. She is not only a mentor, but also a friend. I have reflected a lot on my journey, my perspective, and my future as a result of Lori's Spaces. Her compassion and courage, her fragility and strength, are both inspirational and uplifting. It is actually not NFTs so much that changed my life, but the community behind NFTs which changed the trajectory of my life. I still have moments when I doubt myself, my worth, my purpose, & my poetry, but when I do, I try to find a Space where Lori is speaking because her messages always seem to crush my inner critic and energize my mind. She, and so many others in the NFT community, often keep me moving ahead on my personal journey.
In addition to Lori's passion for community, she also has a passion for chasing storms to capture extraordinary moments of the light and the dark in the skies. As an extreme weather photographer, Lori's skill and determination to get the perfect shot never ceases to amaze me. Her pieces are worth her prices. As a pillar of the NFT community, Lori's leadership and commitment to onboarding and empowering people are truly priceless.
