Creating economic opportunity for creatives of color.
Hire quality creatives for freelance, part-time, full-time, and remote positions that are usually not reserved for them.
There is a common misconception that there is a limited pool of qualified diverse talent; we are here to debunk that myth.
There is a need to help elevate creatives of color through storytelling, exposure, and job placement. We do this by building a large community of established diverse creatives, finding the perfect creative to compliment the business’s need, and providing support to both parties throughout the engagement to ensure successful collaboration.
