A letter from Brit Tobin, Founder and CEO of BLKMRKTMedia
Dear Friends and Supporters,
I hope this letter finds you well and leaves you filled with inspiration. As the Founder and CEO of BLKMRKTMedia, I want to extend my endless gratitude to each of you for being an integral part of our journey as we champion original voices and fearlessly forge ahead in this brave new world of television.
Black Market Media’s story began amidst the challenging backdrop of the 2020 pandemic. In the face of adversity, I personally witnessed the transformative power of storytelling and recognized the dire need to provide a platform for underrepresented communities to share their stories with bravery and authenticity. With unwavering determination, we set forth to build a home for those who have been overlooked for far too long.
As a creator, I have made it my personal mission to ensure empowerment and representation at every level of production. We stand firm in our commitment to foster a creative space that offers equal opportunities with fair and transparent rights to talent from all walks of life. We believe in a new generation of original voices who inspire change and challenge the status quo.
I know I'm not the first to say that storytelling has a unique ability to transcend borders and bridge gaps between cultures. At BLKMRKTMedia, we curate original content that resonates with audiences worldwide – stories that celebrate the human spirit, dare to dig beneath the surface, evoke thought-provoking discussions, and inspire meaningful dialogue – no matter how silly or profound the subject matter.
I am so very proud of the strides we’ve made together as a team so far—the many barriers we’ve broken and challenges we’ve overcome along the way. But our work has only just begun. As the Black Market journey continues, we aspire to elevate our efforts and resources, encourage innovation, amplify creative voices, and extend our network to new horizons.
Together, we have the power to shape a future where every voice is heard, celebrated, and most of all, respected. The legacy of BLKMRKTMedia rests not only in the stories we tell but also in the positive impact we see in the day-to-day of those whose lives we have been so honored to touch.
Thank you for being a part of our story. Your belief in our vision fuels our passion and inspires us to reach greater heights. I am overwhelmed with immense gratitude and boundless hope… and, like it or not, I intend to keep it that way. It is HOPE that keeps us moving forward.
