Project Osmosis

✨This month, we’re shining a spotlight on Maison Black, a visionary brand that partnered with H&M to celebrate Black History Month through the lens of fashion, creativity, and culture.

Maison Black’s collaboration with H&M highlights the power of representation in the fashion industry, bringing forward bold designs, authentic storytelling, and a celebration of Black excellence. Their work showcases how fashion can be more than style; it can be a statement of identity, heritage, and empowerment.

Dr. Blackmon shares his experience with Project Osmosis, spotlighting the Design Explorer Project and the Terra Foundation’s Art Design Chicago Projects. The Design Explorer Project united 20 young men to craft images of non-violence, resulting in a traveling mural.

As an accomplished author and poet with two books, “Pass those Cabrini Greens, Please” and its sequel, Dr. Blackmon was gifted the redesign of his book covers by Vernon.
