POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Between widespread industry layoffs and feeds flooded with automated copy, the media landscape has changed forever . But as recent insights from the Anthem Awards report prove: audiences no longer connect with hyper-polished corporate broadcasts.

Modern audiences want shared human experiences, real-world context, and the messy behind-the-scenes work that makes something worth building.

We broke down 3 incoming trends shaping 2027 strategy:
1️⃣ Creator Partnerships Over Pitch Decks
2️⃣ Capturing Process Over Polish
3️⃣ Experiential & Immersive Storytelling

As corporate structures realign, creative direction is no longer an afterthought, its core strategic infrastructure.

Whether we’re documenting the unseen moments of leaders through The Unseen POV™ or building full narrative ecosystems with Storyworld Strategy™, ADBC helps purpose-driven brands replace AI noise with authentic cultural resonance .

Stop waiting for permission from systems that were never built to protect your peace. 🤎✨

The creative industry right now is experiencing a heavy squeeze. Between corporate layoffs gutting creative teams, rolling back diversity efforts, aggressive AI overhauls devaluing human art, and software subscriptions turning into a luxury tax, individual hustle cannot overcome institutional failure.

For Black and Brown creatives, this pressure isn’t new. We’ve always had to navigate gatekeeping, code-switching, and the exhausting tax of being “the only one” in rooms that treat our culture like a trend.

The old playbook told us to grind until burnout, collect business cards, and out-produce algorithms. We are officially over it.

Creatives don’t lack talent or vision—what we lack is sustainable infrastructure.

That’s why For Creatives, By Creatives (FCBC) exists. We aren’t here to offer another superficial networking mixer. We bridge the gap between community, education, and opportunity to protect the long game of your career.

Read our latest article breaking down why sustainable ecosystems matter for the new creative economy—and how we are building the table together.

(And speaking of building the table IRL: come pull up with us at our signature, free Head in the Clouds™ co-working session on September 20 at Lucky Goat Coffee! RSVP link in bio.)

You realize at some point that you’re simply advocating for your younger self, all the things and people you didn’t have and what you were told you couldn’t be. It’s not about who sees it, it’s just about the divine fulfillment and impact that’s made.

🥂 Shout out to being interviewed on the set of Quakertown by Quakertown’s Writer and one of the Directors himself, Lindell Singleton. This was a snip of a 10 minute long interview that started with me interviewing him, however, he had other plans 🙌🏾 [peep the sweat, it was an interior and exterior set so we were in TX heat for hours yall- sis was working]

This post does no justice to all of what I’m currently producing and creating but I can’t wait to show you all what’s to come. 🫶🏾

Praise to my ancestor, my grandmother, my Momo 🤍

Happy heavenly birthday, Catherine Celestine- Poullard, I feel you with me EVERYDAY. ✨

Pictured:
Left- My maternal grandmother- Catherine 💜
Right- My paternal grandmother- Ruth Harmon, my Grandmama Ruth 🩷

This picture captured on a pivotal day in my life— my First Communion captured in my home church Saint Michael the Archangel Catholic Church, Leesville, Louisiana ⚜️

As a Black, Catholic and Creole Woman from rural Louisiana, this sacrament/ milestone not only was an evolution of my place in Catholicism but also one of the last times my grandmothers stood in the same space, healthy. ❤️‍🩹

I cherish this photo, I cherish this day, I cherish all Black women and hope all the support of each other and our ancestors help us become who we are ✨🫶🏾 by @the.kjh

✨My second US Open experience, made fully my own.✨
This time around, I was intentional—bringing creativity with me by designing a custom ADBC US Open capsule 🎾 to express my support in a way only I could. Traveling with Keenan + family, seeing Taylor Townsend in ACTION and catching up with Kmor made it even more special. 🙌🏾

Now that the 2025 US Open has wrapped, the capsule has officially closed. But trust—this isn’t the last. One day, I hope to lead capsule design for the US Open and other spaces where Black people are breaking barriers. 🖤 This year’s celebration of 75 years since Althea Gibson broke the color barrier was a powerful reminder of why showing up with creativity and culture matters.

More intentional. More creative. More to come. 😉
