Projects
We've executed projects and used creativity to demonstrate our unique understanding of diversity.
My Friend is a Superhero
You know how kids stare at people in wheelchairs and aren't sure what to say? Well, we want to change that. We want kids to run up to people in wheelchairs and say, “Wow! You must be a superhero!”
The Label Libel
Philip's TEDxTalk about his passionate belief that we have a powerful opportunity to reimagine diversity.
We all have the opportunity to move from fear to love by removing labels
The core message of this video is to encourage people to engage in social change and for individuals to accept diversity and who we really are.
How did we, individually and collectively, become who we are? And why?
"Who We Are" is a music video and mini-site with a vision of changing how we know ourselves & each other. It's all about us, made for the world to see.
