ABOUT DAWA STUDIOS

One of the greatest barriers to creating content and spreading your message is access to equipment (lighting, cameras, sound, etc). Content creation is so important for establishing online presence, but many talented voices in our community need support to bring their unique visions and stories to the world.

The Studio serves as an incubator for this talent, generating hours of high-quality content for these creators for no fee. Access to the studio will be entirely subsidized through donors, grants, and revenue generated from the studio (corporate and non-BIPOC clients).

“DAWA has created a community of such talented artists of color, and through that we have been able to create a support system and grow along side each other”

"DAWA Studios helped me achieve a personal goal of mine as a creator, and reinforced that you can do a lot with the support of your community."
