from “Elements of Melanin” by Jeredon O’Conner Created in the wake of police killings of unarmed Black men and women across America to reinstate love and positivity into the Black community. Our hearts may be heavy. Our minds may be cloudy. But our spirit and beauty carry on. To all my brothers and sisters out there, you matter. Head to our youtube to see more of Jeredon’s work in his feature for the Blacklight Initiative, a partnership between AFROPUNK, Whalar, and Fresh Tape Media. Through Blacklight, we're super excited to amplify the work of up-and-coming filmmakers and digital storytellers.
