WEEKLY DISPATCH

BPM extends applause and gratitude to each of these trailblazers. Their work and that of others provides evidence that Black folks have always and will continue to make history. I don’t know about you, but even with our current troubles, relative to the difficulties Black people have faced in the past, I think this is an exciting time to be Black. Innovation often springs out of adversity, and based on the cultural boom that’s happening within Black creative communities, it’s clear we’re living through an extraordinarily prolific period. 

Of course, sustained states of acute adversity aren't healthy, so we all need to do what we can to ease the pressure. If you share BPM's commitment to supporting Black media makers, I invite you to participate in our Black Every Month Giveaway and support the films and programs featured on our Black History Month page. All proceeds from the giveaway will benefit the BPM Emergency Relief Fund. The more you support us, the more we can do to ensure Black makers have what they need to continue making our stories ubiquitous.
