Black History Month pays tribute to the generations of Black Americans who have fought against adversity and the barriers of institutional racism in the United States and abroad. Black creatives have a history of pushing art and culture forward through innovation, activism, and infinite creativity. Our list celebrates some contemporary black voices that are helping shape American culture right now. Black Women of Creative Circle, a Creative Circle Employee Resource Group (ERG), share their favorite black creators – superstars and up-and-comers! Throughout the month of February, we’ll be updating this list with new creatives we love, from internal suggestions as well as suggestions from you!
