Notable Quotes “There's kind of this disconnect in the imagery of women in that mid-century period that I still think kind of exists somewhat today. And so that's originally what a lot of the artwork was meant to depict. And of course, same with the 10,000 piece collection. But now add the opportunity for storytelling and building out characters to it.” – Sara [15:29] “One of the big focuses with Women and Weapons for me was to make sure that the faces that people saw on Women and Weapons were somewhat representative of themselves, their family members, their friends, and so on and so forth, which is why you kind of see like a mixture of different ethnicities within the Women and Weapons ecosystem.” – Sara [19:35] "I want to leave behind the legacy of fostering a community of individuals that can uplift and support one another, and telling stories of strong, brave, and incredible women." – Sara [43:33] Our Guest Sara Baumann is a visionary artist, entrepreneur, and NFT pioneer.
