The Guardians of Baltimore

The Guardians is a photo documentary & storytelling project led by Whitney Frazier including photo portraits, large scale banners and digital archives that celebrate unrecognized Black female leaders across Baltimore City neighborhoods. This project provides a platform for women who spend their lives fighting for a better, more equitable Baltimore.

Reclaiming Spaces

Through large-scale banners, the Guardians have reclaimed spaces around Baltimore that have previously underrepresented or neglected Black women.
