ABOUT SHEER
SHEER is an NYC-based multicultural media platform centering the stories and art of creative women and non-binary people of color globally.
SHEER holds space for multicultural creatives to explore the intersecting identities that make us who we are in a world with limiting systems that don’t always hold space for our nuance. By sharing real stories and hosting community events and exhibitions, we strongly believe in solidarity, transparency, understanding, and connection among creatives of color.
Founder
“Originally from East Flatbush, Brooklyn and born to Haitian and Ethiopian immigrant parents, I've always been drawn to creative expression and storytelling fueled by my cultural upbringing. I was inspired to start SHEER after nearly a decade of working in the fashion and marketing industries and wanting to cultivate a multicultural creative space that isn’t performative and doesn’t conform to any status quo.”
