Zariah Cameron, a Graphic Design student at North Carolina A&T State University, is creating her own design initiative program to help black design students.

AEI (Advocate, Educate, Innovate) Design Program is an initiative program used to provide resourceful workshops, panel discussions, speaker series, and networking opportunities, centered around design. The goal is to further develop the skills and knowledge of design for black college students, in hope of showcasing more black representation, within the design industry.

Part of our program is partnering with companies to create a pipeline for students for them to receive internship or full-time job opportunities in the design field.

Due to limited resources, we would provide some students with scholarships for school or/and money to pay for the cost of software, specifically the Adobe Creative Cloud. Most students, including myself, have to come out of pocket for the required Adobe CC, to do our class assignments.

Additionally, we are a volunteer team of 4, I would still like to offer some pay to my other three team members, as well as myself, being that we are still students in school. Thank you for your consideration.
