About

The Recreate Project is an initiative to celebrate, elevate and educate Black History year round.  It is The Recreate Project’s mission to preserve the rich heritage of Black Americans by sharing their stories and honoring their legacies. Founded and organized by Jasmine Mallory, a photographer, digital artist, author, poet, history sharer, raw vegan and entrepreneur. In 2017, while embarking on a journey to gain “knowledge of self,” Jasmine was inspired by the idea to creatively use photography  as a way to share Black History through her blog. The unique photography style (genre) used is referred to as “recreate”. This venture quickly evolved into The Recreate Project, as she went from solely posing as the female historical figures to involving community members to be included in the project.  The focus has always been to highlight and share the stories of often forgotten Foundational Black Americans who were unstoppable trailblazers in building the fabric of America. What began as a blog, has now flourished into a high volume website with visitors viewing from across the globe, as well as an annual Black History Calendar which first launched in 2019.
