BCM was founded by Audrey Solvar, a London-based event company owner who’s had years of experience in the journalism and production industry, working for companies such as YouTube and MTV. After being in contact with various up and coming black creators for YouTube Black in 2017, she felt that they had not been receiving the recognition they deserve.
“That was the light bulb moment from which Black Creators Matter was inspired,” explains Audrey on the BCM website. “I wanted to create an inclusive community where Black Content Creators could get information, collaborate, network and thrive, as part of a group that really cares.”
