The Uplifted Voices Initiative: It's challenging to become what you haven't seen. The main ingredient left out of the mainstream media is Black men healing through vulnerability. Our media work amplifies the stories, dreams, and truths of Black men and those doing restorative justice work through digital storytelling as a demonstrative act of rebellion.

What we feel, we film. What we film, we free.
So What Can We Do?
IN-HOUSE VIDEO AND EVENT PRODUCTION.

A Project Turned Partnership – “We really enjoy what we do!”

“A big part of uplifting the voices and lived-experience of our community is giving it witness. Our aim is to share this reality broadly through production. We are always co-creating in this journey.”
