Black & Viral

About The Event

Viral moments, cultural shifts, new platform breakthroughs — Black creators, and their work, have been at the center of it all. They don’t just participate in Internet culture; they create it.

Yet the systems supporting them often fall short. How can we build better pathways to amplify their influence, and help create long lasting careers?

Join the Webby Awards and NAACP for ‘Black & Viral: The Webby 30 Edition,’ series that celebrates Black digital excellence while exploring what it takes to protect and uplift it.

Our first edition will explore how Black creators have carved lanes by blending comedy and advocacy. Join us to hear from two creators who have shaped Internet culture in the past and present on carving out your own POV to share a meaningful message, and how to achieve longevity.
