We The Culture elevates Black creators to share their vision with the world, spark community, and empower them to build successful, entertaining and sustainable networks across the Meta apps. The program and social community is dedicated to celebrate Black creativity and create Black equity.

I helped lead creative on this project starting with creating the “We The Culture” name, a play on the first words of the preamble, “We The People” the program name pays homage to the Black influence on art, fashion and mainstream culture.

For pulse 2 of creative, we created the concept called “Good Glitch” which was inspired by a quote from the late Senator and Civil Rights activist, John Lewis

“Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” - John Lewis

A glitch is usually seen as something negative, or a disruption. We conceptually reframed these creators’ “glitches” as their purpose of why these Black creators unapologetically create in the first place. A good glitch suspends the current order of things and creates space for magic to occur. A good glitch is the spark inside these creators to affect positive change in the world.

Facebook app celebrates and supports the Black community throughout the year through Black Community Programs as well as during cultural moments such as Black History Month. These ongoing commitments honor the power of the collective while taking an inclusive, supportive stance for the community.

For Black History Month this year, we wanted to ensure a cohesive cross-app strategy. The unifying insight driving the work across our app surfaces throughout the month is History is made every time Black excellence perseveres in the face of inequity and we wanted it to come to life through Facebook Groups, video content, discovery and expression tools. The creative idea Black Makes A Way is a celebration of diverse Black communities in their quest for progress and celebrates stories of people using our platform and products to positively drive equity and change. The idea is inspired by the phrase “making a way out of no way” which is rooted in and understood by the Black community to refer to the many ways Black culture perseveres.

In celebration of Black History Month, the Facebook app social team launched our hero anthem film, "You So Black." This work was featuring a rendition and performance from poet and activist Theresa tha SONGBIRD. Her amazing poem "You So Black" serves as an uplifting celebration of the communities and Groups that work every day to drive equity and inclusion within the Black community. As we celebrate the every day heroes past and present, this Black History Month we acknowledge that history is made every time Black excellence perseveres in the face of inequity.

Every February, the US and Canada celebrate the historical contributions of the Black Community during Black History Month. With this campaign, we set out to recognize the Facebook Groups and individuals who are making Black History every day, and using Facebook Groups to come together in powerful ways. This was a celebration of the Groups and individuals uplifting the contributions of the Black Community, drawing inspiration from the Black National Anthem. As it starts with the words “Lift Every Voice”, that’s exactly how we wanted to celebrate Black History Month with the Facebook App.

An icon of Black American culture, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was written by poet James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and adopted as the Black National Anthem shortly thereafter. For over a century, its lyrics have brought together generations of Black women and men.

Our campaign “Lift Every Voice” will celebrate the Black community, reinforcing our brand belief that people can do more together than alone. Our hero piece is a film which includes a performance of the song, “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, by the female vocalists June’s Diary and members of Facebook Groups. The film debuted on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook page, then a :60s cutdown premiered on TV during the NBA All Star game. Throughout the month, we launched additional content featuring Groups, Facebook Watch talent and unsung heroes from the community, our modern-day history makers.

During the holidays families have annual traditions, whether it be certain recipes, the group board game, or even the onesie family photo. We targeted families that were staying in Airbnb homes during Thanksgiving and encouraged them to continue their old traditions and create new ones in their New Home For The Holidays. Same Traditions, New Home. In one week, we created a mobile site that allowed families to celebrate and share these traditions visually through a series of illustrated social filters. You heard it correctly. We made all this happen in one week with no budget.

When Chuck Taylor asked us to create several custom Chuck Hack sneaker designs, we embraced the challenge. Instead of using a fabricator to create the sneakers, we created them by hand, keeping the true Chuck Hack spirit. The Converse Vine and Instagram channels nearly doubled in size after this project.

Our bike chain sneaker gained the most likes on Converse's Vine channel (27K) and has close to 2,000,000+ loops.

R/GA partnered with L'Oréal Paris and the MTA to create the L’Oréal Paris Intelligent Color Experience, a pilot project designed as the next incarnation of experiential marketing and out-of-store shopping. The Intelligent Color Experience is an interactive machine that uses cameras and sensors to scan the colors in a shopper’s outfit. After detecting the three primary colors in the outfit, the machine offers the shopper personalized matching (or clashing) product options from the L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche line. Shoppers can purchase the suggested nail polish, eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick directly from the machine or choose to email the options to themselves. 

 
Housed in the 42nd Street–Bryant Park subway station, the L’Oréal Paris Intelligent Color Experience drew immediate attention with media calling the machine the "futuristic beauty store for the city girl on the go". An article by The New York Times announced the project and highlighted both R/GA's ingenuity and L'Oréal Paris's position as a leader in the beauty space.

In less than 48 hours, the program generated 130MM impressions and $4.7MM in ad value and appeared in major publications from Creativity to the coveted Low-Brow/Brilliant section of New York Magazine Approval Matrix.
