We often forget that girls exist in hostile environments too, that that they have backgrounds in survival that deserve to be explored. The women that are born from these environments are often stereotyped without any consideration of the "whys" and "hows"; Pink will help to change that narrative.

Story
Mission Statement
The main characters are 10-year-old African-American girls. They are reared by women of all ages and creeds. Class divisions are defined by living in a crumbling inner-city, but also the seat of American government. It would be imperative that the series hire actors and writers of color to survive.About The Project
An hour-long drama series.Created and inspired by those who grew up too soon, this story is set in 1987 Washington DC. The tiny city is quickly earning the title of “murder capital” of the United States, and even the city officials are under surveillance for alleged drug use. All but one neighborhood has completely drowned in the mess of street rivalries, dope houses, and overzealous cop raids. But that all changes with one murder, one suspect, and a slew of chaos left in the hands of a tight-knit group of 5th grade girls.
The girls are tasked with the addictions, insecurities, and demands of the adults around them, all while figuring out this puberty thing, and where they fit in a world not made for them.
They are trusting and learn not to be, they are innocent and become tough, they are human but rise to be fearless. These girls become a direct result of a dying city, and the qualities they are saddled with in this period of time will shape the way that they move for the rest of their lives. Between flaky adults, lapses of trust within the group, enemy lines, and the normal struggles of becoming a woman, the girls of Pink will play their hands in a city hidden behind the White House, the Capitol and the politics of change.
We're so happy to see you!
