Why This Research Matters

Global media companies operate within an attention economy where cultural influence moves rapidly across borders and platforms. Across music, streaming, film, and digital media, the global Black diaspora sits at the center of many of these cultural movements.

Industry frameworks frequently treat Black audiences as a single demographic category. This report expands that perspective by examining the diaspora as a transnational media ecosystem.

  • Identity, culture, and generational worldview
  • Cross-border media movement between US, UK, Africa, and Caribbean
