Description: 

Sweet Brown Girls is a photographic series created by Jada Wallace to highlight the unique culture of Black women. This project serves as both an artistic expression and a cultural statement, challenging harmful stereotypes in the media and replacing them with a narrative that celebrates sisterhood, beauty, and self-expression.

"As a Black woman, I find this project deeply personal. I am committed to increasing the positive representation of Black women and offering a fresh, intimate perspective on how I see the women in my life." - Jada Wallace 

The first 3 images in this collection are inspired by street-style fashion. The model and stylist, "Kassey" has a unique perspective to self expression through thrifted clothes, jewelry, and makeup. This look is an Immigrant Black woman's take on the Canadian Tux with the denim on denim and a red plaid skirt. Kassey's fashionista personality through to her struggles are a constant testament to the statement: Shadows remind us that light cannot exist without darkness. 

​

The second 3 images are inspired by Solange Knowles and her iconic album cover for "A Seat at the Table". The model is accomplished writer , workshop facilitator, and keynote speaker, Diondra Filicetti. Filicetti is perfect for representing the defiance against power structures as a mixed-race Black woman. 

​

The last 3 images are modelled by Fauziyah Gebi; a Nigerian Fashion Content Creator and Media Professional.

The use of the Hijab in these photos display a sense of freedom, floating, and poise. It's elegant and protective in nature with a deep sense of femininity and order. She models a posture of looking upward to represent a modern woman rooted in grace and liberty.
