“I want to use finance and technology as tools to invest in traditionally underrepresented groups. I believe it is impossible to correct for the injustices these groups have faced historically and systemically using political avenues alone. There needs to be a combination of effective public legislation, with ambitious private action, to motivate change. For a long time, humans have relied on financial markets and trading to incentivize groups of people to do their bidding. I want to work to find ways to change incentives for the betterment of the underserved and underrepresented.

“I was Born and raised in BedStuy, Brooklyn. My mother originally wanted to name me Rebekkah from the bible but my father didn’t feel like that would entirely represent me. After doing some research they honored their admiration of the seven Kwanzaa Principles by naming Nia Imani. Nia means purpose and Imani means faith in Swahili. My mother was born in San Fernando, Trinidad and my father was born in Harlem, they combined their different upbringings and values of Black culture with my name.
