In June, Snap announced that its 523 talent incubator — which had launched the previous December — was about to expand. The parent company of Snapchat said it would launch a Black Creator Accelerator that would provide 10,000 per month to 25 recipients.
Three months later, Snap has revealed the first class of Black creators that will benefit from that financial boon. As part of their membership in the Accelerator, those videomakers of color will also receive mentorship, learning opportunities, and complementary tech.
The 25 awardees are all based in the United States. Some of them ply their trades in the most-watched content categories on the internet. Fashion influencers Kai Michelle Scates (pictured above) and Walé Oyerinde will take Snap’s money, as will family creators Nita Creekmore and Sasha Williams. Chefs Keshia Bryan and Daven Gates will bring their recipes to the Black Creator Accelerator as well.
Other Accelerator participants are bringing their eclectic interests to Snapchat.
