Black History Month Wrap Up
As most of you know, BHM is very important to us. Not only is it a month of culture and awareness, but a time for the Black Community to be even louder and prouder of who they are. This month we spotlighted some of the Black creatives in our community to really let them shine. Check them out!
REMINDER: Support Black creatives all day, everyday, all year round!!

Search Committee Interest Form Extended
We’re looking for folks to volunteer to help out our found, Jay Brown, in the search for our first official board! What does the mean exactly?
The board will be comprised of Chief Officers who will help run InkBlot in a new way by covering different departments so that Jay doesn’t have to do it all on his own anymore!
InkBlot has always been by/for the community, so Jay needs your help to decide who the best candidate is to represent everything that InkBlot stands for. This isn’t just for representing the company, but the Blotters who help make everything possible.
Essentially, Jay wants YOU to have a say in who’s running the place alongside him.
For more information, you can check out the full detailed run down here: InkBlot Chief Officer Search
