The Heart of The BAB
Take in all the news you want, but when you come here, be prepared to find joy, get a smile, learn a new thing, or sing a new song. We are worthy of celebrations. The BAB is a curated news source aggregating 300+ Black media sources across 4 continents, 18 countries, and 71 cities, serving as a reminder that despite the constant cycle of Black pain we are inundated with, there is a living, breathing, beautiful, and brilliant Black world.

The BAB is a digital space that gathers and highlights news of Black progress, brilliance, innovation, and liberation — and actively regulates the nervous system of its readers.
We strictly reject content centering Black pain, trauma, deficit, or suffering. This is a refuge of capability, creation, wealth, radical joy, and brilliance.
No "Breaking News." No red alerts. No urgency-as-violence.
What you'll find: agricultural innovation, youth genius, diasporic economic milestones, high-craft design, elders' wisdom, queer brilliance, joy-centered spirituality, haute culture, and the long arc of the Black Radical Tradition.
