Mission Statement
To help artists, entrepreneurs and creatives thrive by providing creative consulting, brand development and photography services.
Racial Equity Statement
Realest Exposure is built on the foundation of providing for and supporting Black and Indigenous people of color (BIPOC).
We're LGBT+ Black-Owned.
We recognize that our country and world have been structured in ways that advantage some while leaving others behind. As an organization, we are committed to being a part of the solution by striving to serve BIPOC in all we do.
We believe all people deserve to be represented and heard, regardless of race or ethnicity. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment that celebrates the unique experiences and perspectives of every individual. We also believe it is important to invest in the communities we serve. We do this by working with local businesses, partnering with community organizations, and providing opportunities for BIPOC artists & small businesses.
Ultimately, our goal is to create a more equitable world for all. We know there is much work to be done, but we are committed to doing our part. We use our platform to highlight BIPOC artists and professionals and showcase their work and talents. We are dedicated to creating a space where all voices can be heard and celebrated.
We are proud to be a part of the movement towards a more just and equitable world.
The Problem
BIPOC artists, entrepreneurs and creatives are often overlooked and underrepresented in many professional spaces.
Despite our immense talents, contributions, and creativity, we often find ourselves sidelined or pushed to the margins. The lack of exposure deprives us of crucial opportunities to connect with potential clients, investors, or collaborators who could propel our careers forward.
This is a systemic problem resulting in a lack of cultural equity.
The consequences reverberate throughout industries where ingenuity should know no boundaries; however, barriers persist due to a failure to acknowledge and celebrate the diverse perspectives that BIPOC artists, entrepreneurs and creatives bring.
Black Americans own 2.2% of employer businesses, Hispanics own 5.3%, Indigenous Americans 0.5%, and Asian Americans own 8.9%. (according to the Minority Business Development Agency)
Our Solution
Recognizing the reality that we are often overlooked and underrepresented in professional spaces, Realest Exposure's solution is to contribute to the growth of BIPOC artists, entrepreneurs and creatives.
Through our efforts in promoting and connecting with BIPOC artists, entrepreneurs and creatives that exist in our communities, we seek to create a platform for them to blossom.
By bridging the gap between talent and opportunity, we create an environment where these exceptional individuals can showcase their skills, gain recognition, and ultimately thrive.
Our commitment lies not only in building a network within our community but also in continuously striving for growth and interconnectedness.
When we include the diversity of talents and perspectives of BIPOC artists, entrepreneurs and creatives in our communities, we combat the perpetuation of limited notions that certain types of people are more capable of thriving than others
