Blvk Shots (formerly known as EdiBlvk) is an idea born from the travels and moments of its founder Jacorry Lewis. Originating in 2016 as a documentary platform, Blvk Shots has journeyed throughout the eastern United States journaling events such as AfroPunk in Brooklyn, New York, the opening of the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington, D.C., and the Black Is movement in Orlando, Florida.

 

After traveling through London (and Leicester), England in 2018 documenting the realities reflected by the differences in socioeconomic status, our founder decided to expand toward the interpersonalities of individual people. Many of the world's brightest up-and-coming minds have been featured, such as Markus Peoples, a mechanical engineer born in Alaska who has started his own art movement in Ohio; Jarumi Bonner, a computer engineer who has founded his own christian fellowship and website company; Ariel Collier, a curator at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies; Stefanie Campbell, a master's student at the University of Central Florida who has started her own organization for local artists of color as well as a successful candle business; Johnna Gracik, a master's student at Florida State University who field organized for Stephanie Murphy, Congressional District 7; Dee Romimora, a royal woman of Nigeria who is a leader in Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity, Inc., and more.
