****BLCK****



There's this dope project I'm a part of. Its called "BLCK". And If your black, and aspire to be anything worth being...you need to 'be' here.
(I cut and pasted the info, so if it doesn't sound like my writing....you guessed it...Its not. )
RSVP People! And fast! There's probably like 5 seats left.





FRSH Pulp Sponsored Event
BLCK Premier + Panel Discussion
Hosted by I.M.G + Nakeya B. Photography

Learn. Network. Build. Success is a combination of who you know and what you know. Who you know can open the door and what you know keeps you there and can take you beyond. BLCK is about sharing experiences, gaining new insights and networking with each other so we can all take our aspirations to the next level.

The focus of BLCK is to not exclude other races but to celebrate + acknowledge the accomplishments of four young Black men and share in their experiences. There are so many successful men of color changing the game and making a difference; this is a glimpse of four.


TreVZ Producer. Kareem Black Photographer. Anthony Hudson Associate. Anslem Samuel Journalist.


BLCK will be presented in the form of an exhibit, which will consist of photographs + excerpts from interviews, and a moderated discussion that will explore the role of minorities (past, present and future) in media, music, advertising, marketing and business as well as each individuals journey to where they are now + their contribution to their field.


Also being featured in the same space is Nakeya B., "One Woman, Many Men"


A collection of eight black and white portraits of black men as seen through the eyes of a black woman. This specific perspective is one that has been underrepresented since photography's invention. The images explore the notion of trust and how the factors of race and gender influence them. "One Woman, Many Men" also serves as a platform to deconstruct the "White male" exclusivity associated with photography historically.

Seating is VERY limited and priority will be given to those who RSVP and then on a first come, first seat basis.
