Her jump-off-the-screen familiarity pulls us in. This is the work of The Beautiful Project, an organization using photography to give Black girls a platform to celebrate the unique brilliance that lives inside of them and transmit it outwardly. The commonality that threads the collective of girls is uninterrupted joy. It dances across their expressions and bubbles up in their grins. And it makes you grin right back. Indeed, it is quite dazzling. That she sees it, embraces it, affirms it and knows it for herself is beautiful, too.

What Supporting Trans Youth Looks Like

Nydia Blas is an artist and community leader whose pictures capture a striking and deeply intimate perspective of black female adolescence. A s executive director of the Southside Community Center in Ithaca, New York , Blas works closely with teenage girls to help establish a safe space where they are celebrated and empowered to thrive within a predominantly white environment. Her series The Girls Who Spun Gold is both a collaboration and an ode to the young women she works with. Each picture explicitly confronts the stereotypes perpetuated by decades of racist propaganda in an effort to reclaim identity, and, like the Southside Community Center, create a safe space in which young black women can see themselves. Here, Blas speaks with BuzzFeed News about her work and the powerful meaning behind the pictures. These images are a direct reflection of my lived experience as a woman of African descent and work to complicate the notion of what it means to be a girl, adolescent, woman, and mother — and the fine lines that exist between. To be even more specific, the experiences of a woman of African descent growing up in the predominantly white city of Ithaca, New York. This is a result of a relationship that developed between myself and a group of girls who were in the midst of growing up in the exact same location. I think this is an integral part of the work, and it was important for me to make this work in Ithaca.
