For this social media Pride campaign for Coco and Breezy Eyewear–which included both Instagram story and grid posts–we wanted to focus on showcasing the voices of queer women of color as those are the voices that are most often–ironically–overlooked during Pride festivities and campaigns. The figures we chose include a range of different ages, professions in order to create as wholistic representation as possible. Each digitally illustrated figure was outfitted in a pair of Coco and Breezy frames to showcase.
