Collaborating with Black Women Disrupt the Web further deepens our commitment to amplify talented, up and coming black creatives globally. Im elated to be working alongside this amazing organization, said DeShuna Spencer, Founder & CEO of kweliTV.
This partnership is setting the example of how to unite and create synergies within our community to build networks of support across the diaspora.

Partnering with kweliTV is in direct alignment with the goals of Black Women Disrupt to Inspire one another, challenge what exists, co-create with sister disruptors - innovators and entrepreneurs across borders and transform the societies in which we live.
DeShuna and kweliTV are a disruptive force! We couldnt have asked for a better partner in this effort to shine a light on Black women writer-directors making web series in the African diaspora! - Zakiya Carr Johnson, BWDW
The partnership provides the perfect platform for the world premiere of the 45-minute showcase of the five original BWDW web series by the semifinalists.
