Harlow Project, a website dedicated to celebrating and telling the stories of women and people of color, recently released the highly anticipated teaser for in(HER)view: a conversation with black women. The eight-part series asks five black women the same eight questions about their lived experiences — from what they love about being a black woman to the challenges they face. The first episode of in(HER)view premieres May 7 on HarlowProject.com.

“There is a stark contrast between what the world sees and what we actually experience as black women,” says in(HER)view creator Charla Harlow. “I wanted to portray black women in an honest and truthful way.”

Video subjects include Genesis Tremaine, co-founder of bklyn boihood, teacher, and artist; Jasu Sims, youth mentor, activist and organizer; Kimberley McLeod, communications director and creator of Elixher.com; Peta-Gaye Williams, social worker and wellness warrior; and Ryann Holmes, co-founder of bklyn boihood.

“I want this project to reach people all over the world but particularly women of the African Diaspora,” adds Harlow. “Hopefully this will build bonds by exposing the commonalities that we share, allowing us to celebrate our resilience.”

Harlow is a director, producer and photographer. The Syracuse native is currently based in Brooklyn, N.Y. Harlow Project’s mission is to produce projects that create a community of consciousness. The goal is to talk to everyday people and give them a platform to share their stories by creating a space where we can talk genuinely and truthfully.
