Our Story.
Gumbo is a storytelling platform and content engine that expands the narrative of Black life. We’re creating a circular ecosystem for Black expression led by curators, creatives, consumers, and champions of the Black community.
Two common narratives of Black life exist in media today: celebrity entertainment and monolithic stereotypes. The vast majority of us live somewhere in the middle - everyday voices swallowed by systems designed not to reflect us. Gumbo’s vision is to expand this narrative and to make it more inclusive through a robust content engine that connects creatives to opportunities for amplification and economic opportunity.
Gumbo feeds the people. Gumbo is communal, diverse, crafted with care, full of flavor, and shares the same Black roots as the community we serve.
We are Gumbo.
