The Black In Project is back unapologetically! You may have noticed that the project has changed a bit in its language, visuals and more. I’m here to update you on the latest changes and to prepare you for what is in store.
It has been a long time coming with much diligence and perseverance. Many days and months reflecting on how I wanted to move forward through the lens of an artist who honors and respects her lane.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 7th, The Black In Project is resuming the main features, starting with Eric Nixon. Stay tuned, because it is dynamic, sublime, surreal and so much more.
Expanding and diversifying the narrative of success within the Diaspora.
The Black In Project is a cultural critique expanding and diversifying the narrative of success within the African Diaspora. This project provides a space for open and honest conversations with our community where they can share in their own words how they got to where they are today, the trials and tribulations, lessons learned, and guidance or advice they’d like to impart to the community. It is important that we have agency in the collection, sharing, and preservation of our narratives.
Another intention of this project is to serve as a cultural archive that we are able to tap into and revisit time and time again.
The Project Has Expanded!
Here’s an overview of the branches of the project.
Features
The core of the project, where Jakia Fuller, founder of the project, sits down in conversation with individuals in various fields and disciplines from across the Diaspora to speak about what success means to them and how it has impacted their journey, their work and much more.
