Founded by Jayah Arnett, My Projects Runway is a storytelling platform that challenges the stereotypes of New York City housing residents. It highlights people, culture, trends, and deep history. People who live in public housing are often stereotyped and assigned to being single-parent families, welfare recipients, school dropouts, and criminals. While we do live in communities that have a lot of ups and downs, the ultimate goal and mission is to inspire and allow people to bring forth their own stories, dreams, and accomplishments.

Digital storytelling platform My Projects Runway celebrates women residents of Lower East Side public housing who have contributed to transformative change in our neighborhood with portraits from Courtney Garvin and a video work by Christopher Currence.
