A data-driven, pan-African tourism campaign for Black & Abroad that turns a racial slur into an empowering call to action. We hijack hateful uses of the phrase as they happen on Twitter. Redact the racist context. Then use them as headlines for hyper-targeted ads for each of Africa’s 54 countries. The ads drive to an AI-curated content hub designed to address the lack of representation in commercial travel imagery by showing members of the Black community traveling in Africa.
