For 10 weeks, our @growth100roses.bsky.social Fellows will sharpen their craft as the next generation of advertising and marketing leaders — while contributing to something far greater than a portfolio piece. Together, we will make our Black history.

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Storytelling is not just an art. It is preservation. It is resistance. It is a legacy.

210

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

There could not be a more necessary moment for this. When history is being rewritten, erased, and politicized in real time, partnerships like this are not symbolic — they are strategic. Community, creativity, and collective action are not soft ideas. They are survival tools.

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

100 Roses From Concrete is proud to announce our partnership with The Black Canon (black-canon.com), based in Detroit, Michigan.

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

This summer, a new generation of emerging creative talent from across the country will work alongside an organization dedicated to protecting, preserving, and amplifying Black stories, voices, and cultural truth.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Not for adversity. Not for false promises. Not for fake allyship. Never that. Welcome to the Rose Garden, GIFs. 🌹 #Talent #Diversity #Creative #StepUpAndServe #Education #Inclusion #Advertising #Mentorship #HotGROWTHSummer #WEARESTILLOUTHERE

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Because while the industry has pulled back from the very talent it once claimed to champion through broken promises, performative allyship, and closed doors, 100 Roses From Concrete is still here. Still rising. And we aren't stopping.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Talent. Heart. Culture. Purpose. They still matter. They've always mattered. And these fellows are living proof.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Seven seasons in, and this one already feels different. There's something in the air. The future of this industry isn't coming someday. It's standing right here, introducing itself.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Fifteen brilliant young creatives. From across the country. All of them are choosing on purpose to invest in themselves, in each other, and in this community. Over the next 10 weeks, they'll collaborate, create, learn, and build meaningful work together. Not simulated. Not hypothetical. Real.

Season Seven is here. Yesterday, the @growth100roses.bsky.social officially kicked off its newest chapter — and we are so ready.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

At 100 Roses From Concrete, we carry that responsibility with pride. Because every door opened, every opportunity created, every life impacted… it matters. And we’re just getting started. #100RosesFromConcrete #WeRiseAnyway

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

This work means something. Not just for today… but for everyone who’s still trying to find their way in.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

When people come together, share access, and open doors for each other… that’s when momentum turns into something bigger. At 100 Roses From Concrete, we’re not just building individuals. We’re building movement. And it’s only getting stronger. #100RosesFromConcrete #CommunityPower

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

One opportunity can change a person. But a community? A community can change everything.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

That kind of belief deserves to be met with real support. At 100 Roses From Concrete, we see it. And we build around it. Because sometimes, all it takes is someone believing in you… before the world does. #100RosesFromConcrete #KeepGoing

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

A lot of people are still chasing opportunity without knowing if it will ever come. Still showing up. Still believing. Still pushing forward.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

At 100 Roses From Concrete, we’re building something that lasts. Because impact isn’t measured in moments. It’s measured in what continues long after we’re gone. #100RosesFromConcrete #LegacyInMotion

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

This work isn’t just about today. It’s about what we leave behind for the ones coming next. Every opportunity we create, every door we open, every connection we make… it carries forward.

110

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

The question is… who’s willing to step in and help close them? At 100 Roses From Concrete, we’ve made that choice. Because the next generation shouldn’t have to wait for access, opportunity, or support. They deserve it now. #100RosesFromConcrete #BePartOfTheChange

001

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

At some point, it stops being about awareness. And starts being about responsibility. We can all see the gaps.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Confidence. Direction. Possibility. At 100 Roses From Concrete, we’re not discovering talent. We’re helping it be seen. Because one opportunity can open a life that was always meant to happen. #100RosesFromConcrete #OpportunityChangesEverything

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

The talent has always been there. What’s been missing is the opportunity. When someone finally gets access, everything can change.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

Still… they show up. They push. They create. At 100 Roses From Concrete, we see that. And we’re building pathways where there weren’t any. Because talent shouldn’t have to fight this hard just to be seen. #100RosesFromConcret#AccessMatters

000

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 19/03/2026

There’s a truth we don’t say enough. A lot of talent is out here trying to break into industries that were never built for them.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

If you’ve ever said “something needs to change”… this is that moment. Let’s build what we’ve been waiting for. #100RosesFromConcrete #ShowUp #WeRiseAnyway

010

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

100 Roses From Concrete isn’t just a community. It’s a call to step in, to support, to build alongside the next generation of talent who deserve access, opportunity, and belief.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Change doesn’t happen because we talk about it. It happens because we show up for it.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Because when you center people the right way, you don’t just open doors. You help restore confidence, protection, and belief in what’s possible. And that’s how real change starts to take shape. #100RosesFromConcrete #CreativeCareers #EquityInAction

001

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

This work is grounded in lived experience. Not theory. Not trends. Real voices, real challenges, and real opportunities for action.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

At 100 Roses From Concrete, we’re focused on creating something real. An ecosystem where underrepresented talent in advertising, marketing, media, and PR can connect, collaborate, and grow.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

There’s a difference between talking about impact and actually building it.

100

100 Roses From Concrete @100rfc.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

We will drop each part of it here for you to watch and listen, narrated by the author Davon (Day-von) D. Thompson and our Founder/Chief Creative Officer, Keni Thacker. Share with your leaders, peers, and colleagues.
