noirpress is a community of visionary writers, creators and curators crafting a liberated Black future through our worldmaking words and art. Our blog features the stories and strategies of Black Geniuses, the future leaders of global cultural enterprise, Diaspora events and other opportunities and resources to help you manifest your wildest dreams for yourself and for our people.

noirpress will launch fully in October with our Changemakers of Series, through which we’ll highlight the most visionary, most talented, most strategic Black leaders from Rio to Paris to Tokyo to Goma. If there’s someone you think we should feature, please send us their info here. To join the Writer Tribe or be featured on noirpress, email editor@noirpress.org or submit your information here.

NOIR FEST is the first of its kind virtual film festival experience curating the finest aspirational Black films from across the globe. By increasing access to visionary storytelling centered on believable Black heroes, we are fundamentally changing the way Blackness is understood globally.

NOIR FEST will launch in December with five of the most visionary films from across the Black globe, a curated vendor market with high-integrity global Black businesses, our favorite Afrobeats, Dancehall and Trap DJs and panels with leading voices in Black film and media. For more information on NOIR FEST (sponsorships and submissions), please contact Sabrina Ashworth.

Our philanthropic arm, NOIR Labs Foundation, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which taps into the community of visionaries we’ve cultivated to provide superior educational opportunities and mentorship for disadvantaged Black children and youth. NOIR Labs Foundation’s Digital Homeschool for Future World Leaders is currently accepting applications for our beta, which will launch in October. Learn more here.
