Why Black Gold?
It has become clear that we need to work from the inside out, the world at large remains ignorant or apathetic to what we deal with daily, so we will create our own safe spaces, and inspire ourselves. The Black Gold Project is how you can help that happen.
The color Black has been associated with everything negative, since skin color became the marker for economic separation, repression, and slavery. The narrative that we deserved those things due to inferiority, was the “cure” for the cognitive dissonance of abusive…
When we know our worth, our hope is maintained.

Content
ACTs
ACTs or African Children Talking, are the first phase of content we will be creating. Content will include Photoshoots, podcasts, videos, and other forms of media. The primary goal being increasing the positive imagery and representation of black people online, so we can encourage each other and see that we are not alone in the struggles of life. Pictures, shared stories, and media from actual black people not from people talking about black people. We have given the microphone to those who haven’t walked in our shoes for too long, it’s time for us to pic up the mic and speak.
ACT 1: Episode 1 Sister
Black women hear thousands of negative messages daily and they still get up and face the world, many with smiles that are unbreakable. Our daughters need a source of positive messages from women that look like them. We will listen and let them express their joys, pain, triumphs, needs, and strategies for navigating this world as black women. From every walk of life, from every economic place, all voices and experiences, combinations and hues. Your footsteps walk a path that fathers like myself won’t have to tread because my experience as a male won’t give me the perspective to help my daughters as fully as they need. Their Aunties, G-mas, Big Sisters, Cousins, an’nem will know how to guide and strategically share what they need to hear, because they have been teenagers and walked the paths our young daughters face. Also when women in New York see that women in Arkansas, are experiencing similar struggles, they will know they are not alone.
