The African Artists’ Association (or the 3As as they are lovingly called) is a non-profit organization that holds an ongoing commitment to the psychological well-being of the African Diaspora; they are the space that the industry turns to for appropriate guidelines and information about how African imagery and African diaspora content can be depicted and handled respectfully.

The organization bolsters an impressive roster of members and guest speakers at their events. In order to monetize these perks, they turned to me to help build a unique platform for members to gain access to industry insiders and create an online community as an extension of their in-person events.

I developed a site that operated on a membership platform, integrating BuddyPress as a social interactive tool but limiting access based on membership status. The design throughout site reflects tones of the film industry with subtle cues to African culture.
