Media is how we consume information, but the narrative being told doesn't represent the reality on the ground. Through a web video series called The Peculiar Kind, Alexis Casson explores stories and issues faced by queer women of color.

Alexis Casson wears many hats: cinematographer, editor, photographer, and she also dabbles in simple web design. As a creator and storyteller Alexis’ passion lies with using art as a way to tell the stories of others.

In 2011, Alexis, along with business partner Caneisha Haynes, created the web series The Peculiar Kind.
