Black River Life

An African Diaspora-centered creative studio + nonprofit collective based in Phoenix, Arizona

From South Phoenix to São Paulo, Soweto and beyond: every Black story matters. We’re here to reflect the many streams of Blackness as one mighty Black River.

Our team produces films, podcasts, web series, journalism and cultural events that center the African Diaspora in greater Phoenix and beyond. We disrupt anti-Blackness by reflecting Black self-love.

At Black River Life we create and curate films, music, storytelling, podcasts, cultural spaces and more. Telling Black stories is the mission— and that includes our own. Meet our team→
