What is Blackshome
Our Inspiration
Welcome to Blackshome, your path to discovering the vibrant tapestry of black culture and identity. In the spirit of love, empathy and curiosity we’ve created a haven for discovery, understanding, and the celebration of black communities around the globe.
Our mission is as clear as it is profound: to uncover and share the rich layers of what makes black people tick.
With a keen eye and an open heart, we delve into the traditions, innovations, and soul-stirring narratives that define and distinguish black culture. From the textured stories behind every artistic expression to the scientific breakthroughs and entrepreneurial ventures that propel us forward, Blackshome is the place where curiosity meets knowledge.
At the heart of Blackshome is a story of awakening. Birthed from a fiery debate between our founders, Ben and Nana, over the intentions behind a seemingly simple question – whether a genuine question asked by a friend from another race was borne out of sheer curiosity or much talked about systematic racism. Blackshome transcended from a single moment of uncertainty to a movement.
It’s a movement where questions are not just asked but thoroughly explored; where perceived differences become shared understandings; where ‘why’ is not met with judgment but with the rich tapestry of facts and experiences.
And Yes we also have a rich resipotory of awesome black hair inspiration and content just for you.
