DREAMS

Talent: Gabriella Lawrence (@gabriella_lawrence_) + Daniella Nyenyeri (@dachribe)
Dreams are not distant alternate realities of what we could be. They are visions of us living in the fullness of our purpose. Dreams ignite our passion and awaken our potential. However, often times, dreams cannot be accomplished alone. When our gifts collide, our dreams come undone.
From the concept to the execution, “Dreams” is a visual representation of the power and beauty of black women unifying in sisterhood. Happy Women’s History Month.
