Co-founded by independent Black & Brown social justice artists who wanted to support displaced youth, a handful of media professionals came together to form a safe space for artists to build networks and develop businesses, while helping support the next generation of artists. 

Over the years we have partnered to create innovative content for media campaigns, but also design and implement strategic educational programs to advance underrepresented artists.

  • Youth UpRising – Go Digital: Media Career Pathways Program

  • Mission Neighborhood Centers – Capitol Campaign Initiative
