Insight: The Black Creative Class
An interesting insight was provided on a panel where some young & Black creatives ventured into the depths of just what it means to be a Black creative and the different aspects of that journey. I thought it was highly interesting considering that I think within any creative industry, non-Caucasian individuals (Black, Hispanic, Asian, etc.) do have to deal with and manage barriers that their Caucasian peers do not. If you are apart of the fashion, art, or even the entertainment industry, there has been a moment or two (maybe more) where you have to figuratively fight to make sure your artwork is not confined to your race. Just my opinion from my own experience and from what I've witnessed. Either way, check it out because the panel discussion was really good.
