YouTube have announced that artists and creators from Nigeria can apply for grants from its Black Voices Fund. The global $100m fund will, over the next three years, offer support to Black artists and creators so that they can thrive on YouTube.
The $100m fund was first announced in June. It has since been
officially named the #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund.
Alex Okosi, MD, Emerging Markets,
YouTube EMEA, says “Our goal is to expand funding to more
countries over the course of the next three years,” he
adds. “Additionally, we hope to provide a consistent drumbeat of
educational training, workshops, and community events to Black creators and
artists globally. Along with our commitment to amplifying marginalised voices
on the content side, we are also investing in product and policy changes that
will continue to advance YouTube’s mission of giving everyone a voice and
showing them the world”
The #YouTubeBlack Voices Fund is part
of the work currently underway to ensure that YouTube is a place where Black
artists, creators and users can share their stories and be protected.
