About The Art of Black Genius
“The Art of Black Genius” reflects a rich tapestry of Black creativity and innovation. By recognizing and uplifting our contributions, we not only celebrate the past but also inspire future generations to continue a legacy of Black brilliance and ingenuity. Black people have always made a way out of no way. We continue to do so by climbing and lifting each other up.
We have perfected the art of living, loving, and thriving in a world not meant for us.
