The Voice of Black Los Angeles is your dedicated source for Black news in Los Angeles. Our mission is to deliver hyper-local, community-centered stories that uplift, inform, and inspire our readers, bringing you the real stories from the neighborhoods of LA that often go unheard.
We cover the news that matters most to you—from local government and grassroots initiatives to cultural events, education, business, and more. We believe that representation in media matters, and we are committed to providing an authentic voice that resonates with the heart of LA’s Black communities. Our stories are for us, by us, with a focus on connecting and empowering the people of Los Angeles.
The founders of The Voice of Black L.A are L.A natives who recognized the importance of independent Black-owned media within the changing landscape of Los Angeles. Gentrification has pushed longtime residents beyond city limits, making it crucial to have a platform that highlights the achievements, challenges, and aspirations of the Black community. By empowering our community through media, we aim to counter these effects and ensure that Black voices are heard and celebrated.
Stay connected with The Voice of Black Los Angeles for the news that shapes your community, highlights Black excellence, and fosters understanding and unity across our city.

Supporting Emerging Writers
We understand the marginalization of aspiring Black journalists and the systemic barriers they encounter in traditional newsrooms. We are committed to uplifting emerging and established Black writers who are often overlooked and undermined in the field of journalism. Our platform serves as a safe space for their voices to be heard and their stories to be shared without compromise.
We have paid writing, photography and videography opportunities for local Black journalists. Send us an email to be featured and/or discuss project ideas.
