THE VISION

The most powerful way to shift people’s beliefs is through lived experience.

Alicia Walters conceived of the Black Thought Project as a way to engage Black people on a deep level of what they truly think and believe to be true about themselves and the possibilities for society when their experiences are honored; when the world sees itself in relationship to Blackness. For others, the project provides a concrete way for people to have a lived experience of centering Blackness by protecting and taking in what Black people are sharing without trying to subvert or capitalize on their expression. She believes that in seeing and experiencing the world beyond the dominant narratives and beliefs we’ve been fed will we be able to create the relationships and systems to transform society.
