A Taste of Melanin Returns in February 2025

The Zay Project, a community-focused nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating and uplifting Black culture through impactful programs and initiatives, announces the return of its 2nd annual A Taste of Melanin in 2025. A series of engaging, educational and inspiring events and programs takes place throughout the entire month of February, aligning with Black History Month. A Taste of Melanin was launched in 2024 by Michael Jackson, president of The Zay Project and founder of Mya Kai Creative Agency, Phoenix’s only Black-owned full-service digital marketing agency dedicated to recreating brands’ images and building their future through its unique approach to design experiences that connect today’s brands to tomorrow’s culture. The event was designed to create inclusive spaces where people can learn about and acknowledge the profound influence of Black people on American culture. “Our goal is to showcase the rich history, art, music and traditions of Black culture and to help people gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of its many facets. We believe that by sharing these stories, we can create a more just and equitable world for all,” said Jackson. “We were blown away by the response, attendance and feedback after our inaugural series in 2024. We look forward to presenting an even bigger and better A Taste of Melanin in 2025 with the introduction of added events and workshops.”
