During the summer of 2020, immersed in uncertainty, fear, and isolation by the onset of Covid, horror at the murder of George Floyd, and flat-lined by the divisiveness of the elections, we dreamed of The Make Good Project. We wanted to build space for artists – specifically Black women – to dream, nurture community, create art and engage in authentic self-care.

We are very proud to say that this seed of an idea has been nurtured into a beautiful sapling. We are budding a grove. Germinating a forest. In 2024 we became a 501(c()3) nonprofit organization doing the work of our dreams.  At Make Good we strive to be fully engaged with the world – balancing art-making, work, family AND taking time to hydrate, meditate, and move our bodies. Above all else, we want to make good things: art, people, communities. And make good on our potential to build a more creative and connected world.

Arts Programming and Community Building: The Make Good Project is a nonprofit built to hold space for Black women of all skill levels to create art in community.  They hold writing workshops online, host in person events and an annual retreat that center the creativity of Black women.
