Black is Beautiful

I drew inspiration from Wale’s song “Black is Gold” and the powerful leadership displayed at protests supporting the black community. This animation uses words from that song and is set against a backdrop of protest footage. I hope it inspires you.

The goal of this video is to remind myself and others that look like me, that although the news can make being black look ugly, that the truth is being black and doing what black people do is a beautiful thing. And I, for one, cannot wait until the rest of the world can see it too.
