My Project

To create an interactive multimedia project that highlights key figures, historical moments, and cultural movements in Black history.

It’s designed to be accessible for various age groups and educational levels, with resources for both elementary school students and adults By sharing these powerful stories and experiences, the project will foster empathy, increase awareness of systemic issues, and celebrate the ongoing impact of Black culture on society. It will also provide a space for meaningful conversations about progress, unity, and the need for continued activism.
