The No Pause Project
DRIVEN BY CULTURE. BUILT FOR CHANGE.
The NO PAUSE Project was born when some of our young creatives wanted to create a way for men, specifically black and brown men, to give themselves the freedom to enjoy the things that we all love. Like holding an umbrella or eating a hot dog.
The mission? To reshape the conversations and perceptions around masculinity and ultimately end the toxicity of “pause culture” that plagues men’s mental health.
This project was used, in part, to launch each+every, an inclusion offering for Guided by Good. The budget? Under $50K.
