&lt;p&gt;We couldn’t close out &lt;a href="https://www.wnycstudios.org/shows/notetoself/projects/no-filter" target="_blank"&gt;No Filter&lt;/a&gt;, our series on women owning it online, without profiling Jasmyn Lawson, former culture editor at &lt;a href="https://giphy.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Giphy&lt;/a&gt;. That's the search engine that houses all those looped videos we use to express emotion - and ourselves - online.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But when Jasmyn started working there, she couldn’t find many gifs that looked like her. "Just having Beyonce and Rihanna and Nicki Minaj is not enough to say you're representing black women." &lt;a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/womenshistorymonth-xUA7aOWBbGsDz2UnAI" target="_blank"&gt;So she made her own.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
