Unveiling the Unseen Defying Expectations Embracing Grace

The Black Child Down Syndrome project (BCDS) is an initiative dedicated to empowering children with Down syndrome, particularly within Black communities. Through the power of images and storytelling, we are redefining what Down syndrome looks like, amplifying representation, and inspiring action.

Defying Expectations
Embracing Grace

“Black Child, Down Syndrome: Unveiling the Unseen, Defying Expectations, Embracing Grace” is a multifaceted project aimed at challenging stereotypes, celebrating diversity, and fostering greater inclusivity for black children with Down syndrome.

Through photography, storytelling, and community engagement, this project seeks to illuminate the beauty, resilience and humanity of individuals often marginalised by society.
