The #TakeMichelleToWork project by artist Aisha Cousins continues from Black Artstory Month into Women’s History Month! Join the project and the conversation by picking up a DIY doll kit here at our office from March 10th-14th*.  Here’s how you can participate in just 3 easy steps:

1. Contact us by email or (718) 230-1689 to get your doll (it’s free!).
2. Dress/accessorize your doll and give her a career.
3. Take her to work with you, document her journey, and share it!

By taking your doll to work and posting about it on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram with the #TakeMichelletoWork you can draw attention to the dreams Michelle sacrificed to support her husband and family. You can also remind people of the many other ways black women are asked to choose between what is best for themselves and what is best for the race. Just as importantly, you can encourage your co-workers to imagine a nation where our daughters are no longer asked to choose, because it is understood that helping every woman pursue her dreams is in fact what’s best for all of us.

Inspired by Take Our Daughters to Work, this community performance art project is the latest in series of performance art scores composed by artist Aisha Cousins to document black women’s experiences during the Obama era.
