Eunique Jones Gibson
Eunique Jones Gibson is the creator behind Because of Them, We Can. The campaign was started from Jones Gibson’s desire to share our rich history and promising future through images that refuted stereotypes and built our children’s self-esteem.
What started as just a Black History Month Instagram project, posting an image once a day of a child dressed as one of our most prominent leaders, Eunique knew that wasn’t enough and she had to extend this idea. On the last day of February in 2013, she resigned from her job to push Because of Them, We Can full time.
Today her campaign is committed as ever before to encourage and empower people of all ages and hues to dream out loud and reimagine themselves as greater than they are, simply by connecting the dots between the past, the present and the future.
