"Over the last 10 years, I've been building companies and communities. Two companies, one non-profit, and a professional network for Black entrepreneurs."
Blavity Inc was founded in 2014 by Morgan DeBaun and three college friends, Aaron Samuels, Jonathan Jackson, and Jeff Nelson. Each brought a different skill set, and they shared one mission: build a media company for this generation of Black Americans. A decade later, it's the largest network of platforms and lifestyle brands serving Black millennials.
