Per the website, the goal is to “promote black excellence and increase awareness and understanding of the tremendous influence the black artistic community has on American culture.” The content will include artists and influencers telling stories that aren’t reported in mass media.

The platform will launch on April 2, and is hosting a Black History Month campaign honoring iconic figures in the black community.
