Virtual space opens to black stories

The Black History Month or the African-American History Monaht, an annual observance in the US in the month of February, aims at remembering the important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. As part of the observance and to promote the month, Instagram and Snapchat have launched new features.

Instagram has launched a new #ShareBlackStories promotion where they showcase incredible creators like Tawny Chatmon, Paola ‘Pao Pao’ Mathé and Uzumaki Cepeda, plus short films featuring distinct Black voices, produced by Clarence Hammond and Dougie Cash from Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment, along with Marsha L. Swinton.
