About

Blavity Inc. was founded with the recognition that Black millennials and Gen Z were underserved by existing media platforms, which often failed to represent their diverse experiences and perspectives authentically. For our customers, this meant a lack of relatable content that spoke to their cultural nuances, career aspirations, and lifestyle choices. We saw a community of influential consumers and creators whose stories were not being told and whose voices were not being amplified. That's why we built a house for the culture, a digital home where Black voices are celebrated and empowered. Our customers face the challenge of navigating a world where their narratives are often controlled by others. Blavity provides the tools and platforms for them to reclaim and share their own stories, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Our ecosystem of brands, including Blavity News, AfroTech, 21Ninety, Travel Noire, Shadow and Act, and Home & Texture, is designed to cater to the multifaceted lives of our audience. Whether it's providing a platform for Black tech innovators to connect and thrive at the AfroTech conference, offering travel inspiration and resources for the Black traveler through Travel Noire, or celebrating the culture of Black women with 21Ninety, we are committed to serving our community's needs. We understand that for our customers to thrive, they need access to resources, opportunities, and a network that supports their growth. Through our content, events, and talent solutions, we connect our audience with brands and companies that value their influence and are eager to engage with them in a meaningful way. By empowering Black millennials and Gen Z, we believe we are not just building a media company, but fostering a movement that will create generational wealth and change the world.
