Better Black News On-camera interviews with people who are doing things for the better enrichment of the Black community. ✊🏾🖤💜

In the words of our very own founder of Better Black News:

"What is Better Black News? Better Black News is an online news broadcast that is highlighting people, who are doing something phenomenal for the better enrichment of the black community. Their story should be broadcasted for everyone to see. There's not enough coverage of African-Americans in a positive light in the media. Usually when people who look like me are seen on the news, we’ve either murdered someone, were murdered, scored a touchdown or scored a three-point shot. The message that is being displayed is African-Americans are either criminals or athletes. It's other awesome and phenomenal things going on in the local black community that needs to be talked about and seen. I was always told if you want something done right, you do it yourself. I have a website where my audience can get their weekly dose of every Tuesday for . Every Tuesday at 2pm a brand new news story is released that is educating and informing the community on a local event, new business opening, a person who deserves to have their story told, or vital information that is relevant to the Black community."
