Rosario Dawson is no stranger to advocating positive social change through various organizations, including Voto Latino (which she started 10 years ago), the ONE campaign and the Vagina Monolugue-inspired movement V-Day, among many impactful groups. It was through a trip in June 2011 to the City of Joy, a V-Day supported community dedicated to empowering women survivors of violence, that sparked the 35-year-old actress and her longtime friend and business partner, Abrima Erwiah, to launch Studio One Eighty Nine, an online platform dedicated to promote and foster African culture and African-inspired content through creative projects.
