Recently, Ms. Yung also served as the arts and culture advisor to the ImpactNFT Alliance Advisory Council where she advocates for quality education, igniting impact creation to fight climate change, and promoting peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development among The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

"Ms. Yung's global Rolodex is key to helping SOLARR bridge the East and West with the Metaverse and NFTs as SOLARR extends our NFT-as-a-Service (NFTaaS) offering to brands. We want to empower brands in creating new commercialisation models with NFT- and Metaverse-commerce," said Alex Lee, Founder and CEO of SOLARR.
