The cause I’m working on is going to be regarding Getting Rid of the Stigmas Regarding Black Hair in Professional Environments. I am connected to this cause because as an IT Professional and a Photographer many times I have had to change my cultural hairstyles due to Corporate Company Policies, simply because they were deemed unprofessional.
If I win I will use the space to do a photoshoot showing Black Men & Women who work in Corporate America whose hairstyles are outside of the norm.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
