NTWRK, the premier North American livestream shopping platform, will highlight Black creators and the Black community every day during Black History Month.
The stories of underrepresented creators will be told in regular video segments based on four themes: education, legacy, wellness, and expression. NTWRK’s Black History Month programming will feature exclusive product launches, weekly video content with an array of visionary creators, and major milestone drops from top names in the industry.
“Although Black History is ubiquitous throughout global culture year round, NTWRK is proud to highlight black creators who are pushing culture forward during Black History Month,” NTWRK CMO Jason Brown says.
This celebration of a rich and diverse creative community runs the gamut—from luxury handmade goods by Sheron Barber and pillows by Wale, to art by Christina Martinezand boots by Rico Nasty. Additional drops will highlight new and rising Black creators, including August Eighth by Kevin LaRoy, Greg Simmons, Can't Buy Respect, Gianni Lee, Kind of Famous, JeBlanc, Dezine Dope, and Fani.

Additionally, NTWRK will help educate and support the next generation of Black creative leaders by donating to the Virgil Abloh™ “Post Modern'' Scholarship Fund, created in 2020 to foster equity and inclusion within the fashion industry by providing scholarships to students of Black, African-American, or African descent.
NTWRK has also partnered with video director Danny Williams and creative director Gavin Mathieu to celebrate Black History Month on the app. Williams and Mathieu will be producing short-form thematic videos and interviews with the following creators:
ANTONIO FINAMORE of 3DNOIZE: An exploration into the importance of education and its many forms, the hurdles and the doors it unlocks, and how it can enhance a creator’s journey.
JENEICE BLANCH of JeBlanc: Highlighting mental health & wellness, and how creatives can find a balance between everyday life and creating.
G PERICO of Blue T-shirt: Celebrating artistic expression, whether through art, fashion, music, or any other discipline.
COREY POPULUS of Circulate: Sharing knowledge, passing down experience, and reflecting on achievements across generations.
“I'm excited to have NTWRK feature me for Black History Makers and be intrigued by the work that I do,” Antonio Finamore of 3DNOIZE says. “I get so focused on doing the work that I don't really get to see how other people value it.
Continuing to cater to the growing digital-native consumer market, NTWRK partners with multicultural creatives to amplify their stories and products, with the platform’s global audience of Gen Z and Millennial consumers. Above all, this partnership provides creators with unique, new revenue stream.
“With just a few steps I have access to NTWRK’s global audience and marketplace to share my creations with the world,” says Sheron Barber, Founder & Creative Director of SHERON BARBER ATELIER, on working with the platform.
