Morgan DeBaun, CEO of Blavity, states, 'I was surprised to find that no one was prioritizing us as a target demographic,' reflecting on her motivation to create a dedicated platform for Black consumers.
DeBaun explains, 'Blavity really started with: how do we create product and solution services that put the Black community at its core?' This highlights her vision to center Black voices in media.
She adds, 'Taking the platform and then building around it is one of the reasons why Blavity has been able to sustain in these last 10 years,' emphasizing the importance of adaptability and growth strategies.
