My Melanin Is Beautiful is a display of an essence. An essence of pride, prosperity, and all the characteristics of what we, the Black culture, have endured, overcome. And risen above for centuries. Words can’t describe how grateful I am to be apart of this dynamic culture.

Our culture represents a long historical legacy of leaders, innovators, influencers, and game changers. To me the word “Black” describes a thriving culture of beautiful and unique individuals. Our photo series captures that light and illustrates how and why My Melanin Is Beautiful.
