This shoot of the Minority Tech Foundation took place in southern Maryland.  Below find BTS and a candid from the shoot.

This past Friday marked the 57th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. The March on Washington called for criminal justice reform and racial equality. Amid coronavirus safety protocols, there was a remarkable turnout with well-known speakers addressing the civil rights issues of today.

These times call for unity, strength, resilience and preservation. STAY STRONG!
