Black Superwoman

Claudia Alick’s “Black Superwoman” began as an exercise and became something more than the concept. The blends of vibrant colors, diversity of Black femme faces and choices of texture all carry powerful messages. I chose bright colors like red, white, and blue, and expanded by adding oranges and purple. It was meant to reference patriotic pallets as well as african-american styles and feminine iconography. In the art, there are lots of different hairstyles and head coverings that Black women wear.

Diversity Training

To be more effective, diversity training workshops need to be designed in a way that is more interactive, participatory, and focused on addressing systemic issues. By taking a more holistic and inclusive approach, it may be possible to create more meaningful and effective diversity training workshops that can help to create more equitable and inclusive workplaces. Ultimately diversity trainings are part of the EDI industrial complex. It is rehabilitating a system that some believe need to be dismantled.

Black Woman Walking

Claudia Alick’s “Black Woman Walking” was her first animation. She knew that she wanted to have a black woman walking and changing into different Black women. Claudia Alick’s piece is an invitation to contemplate the Black Woman Walking and choose one that speaks to you.

Million Mask March ONLINE

Our Million Mask March is to protest ending mask mandates. We invite everyone to post a photo or video to our digital March since we can’t meet in person safely without mask mandates. Our Digital March is an online protest to the eugenics filled policies of COVID denial. We can’t march outside together safely because not enough people are masking. Help us reach 1 million masks. This project was conceived by Tinu, produced by Claudia, and graphic designed by Maia.
