The Black PR Collaborative Inc. (“the Collaborative” or "BPRC") is on a mission to foster positive cultural and economic activity for the Black/Afro-Latinx diaspora. With an initial focus on New York and Puerto Rico the Collaborative intends to launch programming where individuals can share experiences that build stronger connections and community. The Collaborative’s ultimate vision is Black & Brown people living working and thriving across the diaspora.

From a cultural perspective the Collaborative plans to execute annual programming around Juneteenth for highlighting the many contributions of Black/Afro-Latinx people. From an economic standpoint the Collaborative aims to provide assistance to Black/Afro-Latinx/Latinx persons by connecting these individuals with resources to grow their business. To donate to the Black PR Collaborative Inc. or discuss collab opportunities, contact us at aG9sYSB8IEJsYWNrUFJDb2xsYWJvcmF0aXZlICEgb3Jn.
