I SEE YOU EGUN BY BRITTANY TANNER

"I See You Egun," authored by Brittany Tanner and illustrated by Keisha Miller-Mann, is more than just a children’s book—it is a powerful extension of the healing work carried out within The Song Remedy, Brittany’s organization, and BE-IMAGINATIVE, its sister collective of which she is a founding artist. This book serves as a compassionate resource for families navigating the devastating loss of a loved one. Grief is never an easy journey, but tools like this book provide essential support for young readers and their families as they process their emotions.


GOOD GRIEF BY SOLAUREN: OUT NOW!

Lauren’s music powerfully uplifts and challenges the industry, echoing Nina Simone’s words, “It’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times.” She doesn’t create art for art’s sake; she uses it as a tool for social change, to uplift our communities, our lives, our people, and our world.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to create a world where all black, brown, and indigenous communities harness the power of grief as a transformative force, turning our deepest pain into unparalleled passion, resilience, and purpose.


OUR MISSION

BE-IMAGINATIVE is an Emmy Award-winning collective of artists, healers, and community leaders dedicated to healing communities through multidimensional storytelling. BE-IMAGINATIVE builds community through gatherings and ceremonies rooted in African ancestral tradition and the memorialization of ancestors through visual and performance art, grieving rituals and healing to #DISRUPTHOPELESSNESS, especially among survivors of gun violence.


OUR VALUES

We live by our five core value principles of REACH. Reach is an acronym that stands for Relationships, Empowerment, Authenticity, Community and Healing. These five core value principles serve as the staple that holds together our belief systems. They breathe life into our vision and mission.


“IT’S AN ARTIST’S DUTY TO REFLECT THE TIMES”
