black women are worthy is a social impact initiative for brands who are curating creative projects and experiences centered around black women and marginalized communities. we collaborate with clients who are intentional about authentically engaging and advocating for black women through art, spaces and programming.
as a black woman—owned space, we speak the verbal and visual language that resonates in an authentic way—
what we do best:
conceptualize thoughtfully designed activations and spaces that resonate with women of color.
create artwork, content & visuals that center and celebrate black women.
consult with brands to improve social responsibility, advocacy and well-being for marginalized communities.
through art, beauty and wellness, we use conceptual design as a healing mechanism for black women.
