“Black culture is at the forefront of global culture,” Oyelowo said in a press statement. “Yet at the same time, only the tip of the iceberg has been cultivated and propagated; we’re here to showcase the true breadth and depth of it for a Global audience.”

He added, “We aim to change the paradigm around creator fairness, resolving to address long felt challenges in the industry through addressing, ownership, transparency and community on a foundational level. Mansa is diligently looking for content creators and companies within entertainment to work with, building a centralized hub where all can thrive together. To this point, that is something the establishment has been reluctant to do as a matter of practice. We will be announcing some very exciting partnerships and shows very soon.”
