Black StorYTELLING IS Legend
Our stories MATTER.
The film industry has historically excluded Black voices, perspectives, myths and legend-makers. We are no longer waiting for permission to tell our stories.
We build our own tables and bring our communities together.
THROUGH US, FOR US, and BY US.
That’s what PROJECT XIVION is all about.
