it's about visual storytellers
We're a non-profit that exists to advance underrepresented and disadvantaged visual storytellers to have fair and proper access to careers in their fields. We commit to providing multi-site Collaboration Hubs, industry development programs, workshops, and community platforms for professional and career growth for those we serve.
We create spaces for the underrepresented or disadvantaged visual storyteller to find their tribe, create content, and advance their industry career. It's why we exist.
