Eunique Jones Gibson, is an Artist and Cultural Architect, who was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Prince George's County, Maryland as the youngest of three children.In 2013, Eunique launched the Because of Them, We Can™ campaign during Black History Month with a mission to empower the next generation to honor the legacy of their ancestors through their own individual pursuit of greatness. The campaign featured photographs of adorable children channeling leaders, activists, and celebrities, past and present.
Because of Them, We Can™ quickly went viral and grew into something bigger than the twenty-eight day tribute she originally planned. It is now considered one of the most prolific and virally successful Black History campaigns of all time. It has been featured on the websites of The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, RollingOut, The Washington Post, and Essence.com, among many other print and Internet publications.
Eunique now spends her days following her entrepreneurial spirit using her talents to build the esteem of others while encouraging them to pursue their dreams. She's an oft-sought after speaker whose work has earned her recognition as one of Washington D.C.'s "Top 30 under 30," and in 2013 BET named her a Black Person on the Brink of Greatness. By the end of 2013 Eunique's efforts were validated with an invitation to the White House and a post to the Arts Advisory Board under the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans.
