CRay Project
CRay Project, founded in 2015 is a black empowerment movement that allows artists to have a platform to be themselves. We tackle controversial topics and subject matter that needs awareness. CRayProject has many umbrellas; we have expertise in dance, music, film, and more. We believe in giving our community both RAW and educational art. But most importantly working together to build our community as black and brown people through different art forms.
Company Mission
"Existing beyond the pyramids"
We exist beyond the physical labors that are societally taught. Our legacy runs rich and is deeper than the pages of American textbooks. The CRayProject is the creative hub that explores the spectrum of our DNA. Existing beyond the pyramids is a reminder to dig deeper into your legacy. “Once you carry your own water, you will learn the value of every drop.” -African Proverb
