The Webby Awards and NAACP Present a Discussion on the Impact and Influence of Black Voices Online

RSVP to Black & Viral to explore what’s needed online to help Black content creators thrive—happening virtually on Sept. 26th @ 12pm ET!

You’re invited to join The Webby Awards and the NAACP for “Black & Viral,” a three-part event series that gives Black Creators their flowers and explores what structures are needed—online and in culture—to help them bloom!

From influencers to trendsetters, and from “edutainer” activists to experimental storytellers, the Internet (and pop culture) doesn’t move without Black creators. How can we create better structures to uplift the impact of their work?
