Dr. Milbert Brown

Jerry and I had the pleasure of having a wonderful video chat with our Taking Focus BIPOC Grant recipient, Dr. Milbert Brown. It was so heartwarming to hear how grateful he genuinely is about the opportunity to move forth with producing new work. Dr. Brown expressed how excited and inspired he is, as he shared with us the many ideas he has for his body of work. “I can just see the images in my mind”, he said.

Just Us: The Black Experience in America, A Visual Study of Imagery from the 21st Century has been his life’s work. He sees this as part of the final chapter to his photographic legacy.

Please continue to stay with us as we take this monumentous journey with Dr. Brown.

Thank you,

Jennifer

              Final Grant Deadline March 18th

The extended deadline submission for The Taking Focus BIPOC grant will finally come to a close on March 18th. This photo grant will go to a BIPOC photographer whose work focuses on racial injustice in the United States. As a documentary photographer you may be telling a personal story, you may be telling the story of your community. This is an opportunity to not only share your voice, but an opportunity to be a part of the change. The TF Giving Back Component is what helps make that possible. Never think that your work can not create change. Your work will always have an effect on someone.

Here are the submission details for our $2,500 BIPOC Grant
