Throughout the Don’t Touch My Hair RVA project funded through the Social Justice Fund at Virginia Commonwealth University, I helped market and create visual assets for 

the project.

Don’t Touch My Hair RVA is a project involving the creation of a music video and documentary inspired by artist Solange Knowles to promote awareness, empathy, inclusion, and equity for people of color throughout Richmond.

“The mission of this film is to pluralize the Black narrative and reveal the wealth of Black experiences. By centering Black women, who historically are often the bridge and backbone to social justice movements, hair expressions are used as a metaphor to depict a multiplicity of blackness.”
