This Black History Month, Inneract Project (IP) invites you to invest in a world where design is inclusive of Black, Latinx, and underrepresented communities of color.

As a nonprofit organization launched in May 2021, Let’s Hoop had a mission worth promoting—mutual aid and self-empowerment within marginalized communities. They just needed designers to shape the organization’s visual presence. For this, they turned to Inneract Project students!

Inneract Project Volunteer, Jesse Zachery's talks about his experience and inspiration from Black design mentors and how this has shaped his career.

It’s an all-too-familiar story for Black creatives on their career journey: find your passion young, pursue it as a hobby, and then, as you grow in skill and age, see fewer and fewer folks who look like you on your trajectory, in school and the workplace.

Black Aspirations Matter (BAM) is a group started by five Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) friends and allies who were moved to action by the Black Lives Matter movement in support of the aspirations of Black students.

A Pacific Islander design expert reflects on her experiences in the field and shares advice for her fellow underrepresented designers of color.

For 15 years, Inneract Project has been serving the community with free youth design education programming. As you can imagine, our programs have evolved over the years. What was once a graphic design class is now a series of courses that aim to create a pathway into a range of design careers.
