Blacktag celebrates soft launch at The Bowery

Creators, talent, and media execs gathered to raise Johnnie Walker cocktails to Blacktag; a platform for Black content and creators. The platform, an NEA & CAA-backed venture, will serve as a 24-hour interactive content channel for web, mobile, and TV apps to redirect billions in ad-spend to Black creatives. The event was hosted by Blacktag founders Akin Adebowale and Ousman Sahko Sow, who told the crowd that original series, short, and feature films will begin to roll out from early October. Among those in attendance were Gabrielle Richardson, Telsha Anderson, Chioma Nnadi, and Mobolaji Dawodu.

Grand Cayman-based hotel Palm Heights has been supporting the Lebanese Food Bank since 2019, but thanks to an idea from founder Gabriella Khalil’s mom, a new Brooklyn soirée helps to raise further funds for the charity. The recent evening celebration featured a silent auction, performances by Sudanese artist Alsarah (of Alsarah and The Nubatones) and pioneering Lebanese performer Anya Kneez, and plenty of Egyptian and Lebanese cuisine.
