The dynamic millennial participants serve as bridges for and to advocacy, activism and artistry. From clever-catchy titled performativity Praise On It, Hairpieces. Kitchens and Edges, Miss-Education (of Black Women), and Melanin Mosaics—Respect My Assets invites all to celebrate self and to examine R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
