Black Business Spotlight: Peculiar People Production x Brandi Cadette Crushed Black Photo Series: “Brandi Cadette’s photo series, Crushed Black is all about seeing black women in a different light. “I wanted to convey the message,” she says, “that we are more than the broad stereotypes and assumptions that exist. Being a Black woman isn't ‘one size fits all’ we can look, dress, act, think, walk and talk however we want to and that doesn’t take away from our blackness.” For Cadette, we are capable of anything we put our minds to do, whether those spaces typically have people that look like us or not. “What makes us different is what makes us beautiful and that should be celebrated!” Check out the project here! Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it’ll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.
