Felisha Stevenson
Felisha Stevenson is an Atlanta-based entrepreneur, media executive, and blockchain ecosystem strategist. She is the Founder of Blockchain XO Media and Host of the GBA Emerging GovTech Livestream Series — a monthly broadcast she created, owns, and controls, convening government officials, financial executives, and blockchain innovators to address the policy decisions that cannot wait.
Before entering the blockchain space, Felisha built a career at the intersection of influence and infrastructure. She served as a business partner and employer to some of the world's most recognized names — including Akon (founder of Akoin and Akon City, Africa's first blockchain-powered smart city), NASCAR, Skip Marley, T.I., Lil Wayne, Grammy-winning producer Teddy Bishop, and world-renowned vocal coach Jan Smith. She founded MSI, a debt collections agency, became a licensed commercial real estate broker specializing in investment properties, and built a workforce of over 1,000 employees across government and veterans contracting programs.
A Business graduate of Oglethorpe University who studied abroad at Oxford University, Felisha is currently completing her Executive MBA at William Jewell College through the Oneday Program. She is a GBA Blockchain Maturity Model (BMM) Business Associate, an ordained minister, and a member of the GBA Atlanta Chapter since 2021. Her work is driven by a conviction formed early — losing her mother to breast cancer at 15 taught her that the time to act is now, not later.
As a convener and media executive, Felisha does not just cover the blockchain revolution — she is building the platform that ensures government, finance, and the public cannot ignore it.
Beyond the Broadcast — Building the Ecosystem
The GBA Emerging GovTech Series is the foundation. The mission is larger: to build the premier global media network that owns the conversation, controls the narrative, and is positioned at the deal table when blockchain infrastructure gets funded.
A monthly live series convening government officials, financial regulators, and blockchain innovators. We set the agenda, own the room, and build the institutional relationships that matter — on our terms.
Long-form original content featuring the blockchain founders reshaping government and finance — distributed on our platform and licensed to YouTube, Netflix, and streaming networks. We choose the stories. We own the content.
A live pitch format where vetted blockchain founders present to a panel of government leaders, investors, and technologists — with real funding outcomes on the line. Blockchain XO Media retains equity in featured companies and channels deal flow to institutional investors, building toward a dedicated venture fund.
"The next generation of government infrastructure will be built on blockchain. The question is not whether it happens — it is who controls the narrative, who is seated at the deal table, and who built the platform that made the introduction."
