Shibarium Builder Spotlight: Tutti Frutti Women Crafts Hope from Art and Code

A project named Tutti Frutti Women is making its mark on Shibarium, not with market hype, but with a mission rooted in grief and ignited by love. This Shibarium Builder Spotlight illuminates their work: an NFT collection channeling art into real-world support for cancer warriors.

Andreia, co-founder alongside Robi, saw Shibarium as a natural fit. “I’ve been part of the Shib fam for many years,” she said. The project, first on Ethereum, brought its colorful digital art to Shibarium in January 2024. For Andreia, it’s deeply personal. The collection was “born from the heart—to cherish cancer warriors and honor our loved ones who’ve faced the fight.”

Shibarium Builder Spotlight Mission: Art with Purpose

Tutti Frutti Women isn’t about quick profits. Forty percent of its NFT proceeds directly fund Tutti Cancer Warriors, a non-profit Andreia and Robi established. This organization aids individuals battling cancer and runs awareness campaigns. They’ve already assisted six warriors – Susan, David, Donna, Rigel, Little Orion, and Marie – with grants and creatively used NFT sales for further support.

“We didn’t start with a strategy deck,” Andreia explained. “We started with art and emotion. We saw how cruel the world can be to people going through cancer… and we said no. Not here.” That defiance is mirrored in their vibrant art. “Our art says: you are beautiful, strong, and loud,” she noted, adding it’s “a reminder that early detection saves lives.”

Their commitment goes beyond individual grants. The team has burned SHIB tokens twice and supported flood victims in North Carolina and Spain. Their ebook, “One Mission: Thrive,” co-created with survivors, recently launched on Shibarium—free to TFW holders or 5 BONE for others, with all proceeds returning to the non-profit.

Community and Vision on Shibarium

The Shiba Inu community heavily influenced their move to Shibarium. Andreia recalled Robi’s advice: “Check out the Shib Army… I did—and wow. The loyalty, the energy. It felt real.” When Shibarium, the Shiba Inu team’s blockchain, went live, “joining was a no-brainer.”

Tutti Frutti Women engages online and at events from Tokyo to Toronto, with NFT NYC next. Sometimes they bring chocolate, always, they bring the mission.

Currently, they aim for 1,000 mints on Shibarium, with just 106 to go. Reaching this goal means another 40% donation to Tutti Cancer Warriors and a 1,000 BONE giveaway to holders. Andreia’s long-term vision? “To grant one cancer warrior’s dream every month.” She knows trust is earned, especially around sensitive topics. “I’ve been scammed… so I get it,” she admitted, stressing their enduring commitment.

She’s also quick to correct a misconception: the project isn’t just for women. “We’ve supported men, women, kids,” Andreia said. “The name is playful, but the mission is for everyone.”

For Andreia, the “Shib fam” spirit is paramount. “It’s like a big family,” she reflected. “We don’t always agree, but at the end of the day, we’ve got each other’s backs.” It’s this solidarity Tutti Frutti Women aims to channel, transforming digital art into tangible hope.
