SIMBY 2020-2021
Virtual Arts Workshops for Black womxn and girls ages 13-24 in partnership with PSTV
This club is dedicated to middle school aged Black girls who are interested in photography and building community with like minded peers in a virtual environment led by Black womxn photographers. This is a safe space to ask questions and explore the realities of modern Blackness with a focus on Black girlhood, storytelling, and a love for photography.
SIMBY Presents: The Philly Factor Photo Workshop
In October 2019 before SIMBY was official, we conducted an in-person photo workshop at the Philadelphia School District's TV Station (PSTV) with middle school aged Black girls who were interested in learning the basics of photography. Seeing the joy and hearing the honest feedback from these ten students about their experience birthed SIMBY to be the Black womxn led arts education nonprofit that it is today.
