Morgan DeBaun's vision for Blavity has created unrivaled access for Black voices in media and beyond.
Morgan DeBaun has changed the world for Black millennials. In 2014 as a 24-year-old visionary, she saw the need for a platform and a media brand that would share authentic stories and news about underrepresented voices in America, and their achievements.
DeBaun’s mission was to provide resources to Black millennials and since Blavity’s launch, the media platform has not only established itself as a leader in news and digital products but also as a valuable resource for Black entrepreneurs and small business owners. The unique business model combines an unapologetically Black media and tech company with branded digital content distribution and a social impact organization all focused on engaging Black Millennial and Gen Z audiences.
