ADIFF
Moved by the plight of refugees around the world, Parsons fashion design student Angela Luna, 23, used her 2016 senior thesis project to explore whether clothing could play a lifesaving role for displaced people. Her efforts landed her on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Art & Design 2017 list. Luna created ADIFF because I saw the potential for fashion to be a vehicle for change, capable of providing life-saving relief, while also discussing a major issue of our time. I wanted to integrate fashion with what's actually going on in the world, and design products that realize clothing's full capability. Clothing can meet the humanitarian need and further assist us in our daily lives if it's designed right. What ADIFF's about is not putting together pieces of fabric in new ways. At our core, ADIFF believes that people with the heart of empathy, curiosity, passion, and adventure can go out and enable themselves to discover how to change the world for the better.

Black Nerd Problems
Omar Holmon and William Evans met in the summer of 2007 in a city neither one of them is from surrounded by people neither of them knew very well. None of that is really important though. They’ve been friends and some years later, they decided to co-found an editorial and informative website that focused on popular, nerd and geek culture from the perspective of People of Color. On May 15th, 2014, this website was launched and it has only picked up steam ever since. Come on in, take a look around. Get comfortable. There’s always something new to digest. Black Nerd Problems , "We realized that part of the problem with representation in popular and geek culture isn’t solely on the source, but on the verbal strength of the consumer, on the coverage, on the reporting."
