FINDING BEN

As people of color, we are very aware of the stigma that comes with Black men… If you hear ‘deadbeat,’ most of the time people associate that with a Black man, and that’s a problem, because Black fathers are home and raising their kids and guiding them and showing them a way to maneuver through life the same way as [men of] other ethnicities have.”

We partnered with CoolxDad to capture their Cool Kids Club summer camp, a weeklong program designed to empower youth through creativity, confidence, and community. Alongside documenting the energy and joy of the camp, we also led a brief session on content creation, encouraging kids to see storytelling as a tool for self expression. It was an honor to support a space that celebrates identity and inspires the next generation.
