The company’s vice president of Public Policy, Africa, Middle East and Turkey, Kojo Boakye expressed excitement over the collaboration.
He said, “We are excited to bring these talented creators together to celebrate their achievements and work with them to build inclusive products for connected metaverse experiences.”
“We are committed to providing a new and immersive way for people to connect and we are excited about building inclusive products that achieve this in the metaverse.”
This new partnership is expected to help content creators harness the metaverse’s benefits through art, tech, and history.
