"It takes a village. Community starts where you create it."

As a lifestyle platform for stock photos, we strive to not only offer images that our users can relate to but also serve as a beneficial resource helping others discover the many other stock photo platforms for people of color that we respect. Especially if we don't always have what someone may be searching for at a time. We all know about the major platforms like Getty and Shuttershock, but where are "we" in this industry?
