9 Black Creators We Love: Celebrating Black History Month 2026

Black history and creativity isn't a 28 day calendar event for us – it’s the heartbeat of the culture we work in every day. We’ve had the privilege of partnering with some incredible voices to bring our clients’ stories to life. And the best part? These creators are the ones setting the bar.

To celebrate Black History Month, we’re highlighting 9 creators who are doing much more than just “posting” – they’re redefining storytelling. We’re proud to invest in their work year-round, but today, we just wanted to give them their flowers.

1. Neace Robinson - @neacedagr8

Neace became an overnight sensation after her funeral singing performance went massively viral, gifting the internet the iconic "1, 2, 3… release 'em" line. Since then, she has transitioned from a viral moment to a star on the rise that the entire internet is rooting for. 

We partnered with her for a New Year’s Eve campaign with Planet Fitness, leveraging her magnetic energy and the genuine love her audience has for her. She is the perfect creator for brands looking to tap into a trending personality that feels both legendary and incredibly endearing.

2. Kordell Beckham - @sl4ught3r

Since winning Love Island USA Season 6, Kordell has proven to be one of the most versatile creators in the game. While he’s a rising fixture in high fashion, one of his real superpowers is his infectious personality. 

You can see Kordell’s humor and charisma in our campaigns for Staples and Motto by Hilton. Whether he’s spontaneously going surfing in Rotterdam or talking to the Staples Easy Button, Kordell brings a level of engagement we love.

3. Kendall Washington - @kendallwashington

Another standout from Love Island USA Season 6, Kendall finished the season as a finalist and has since built a massive following through his high-energy, "goofy" personality. His content is rooted in humorous lifestyle storytelling that feels both approachable and entertaining. 

We collaborated with him for a "workout with me" video with Planet Fitness, which showcased his ability to seamlessly blend fitness and fun.

4. The Rapping Chef - @rappingchef

The Rapping Chef puts a creative spin on food content by merging cooking with music and performance. His unique format stands out in crowded feeds and offers brands a fun, memorable way to integrate products into content that feels fresh and culturally relevant. 

We recently collaborated with him on a campaign for Ninja, where he used his rhythmic storytelling to showcase a recipe for the Ninja CREAMi. He is the ideal partner for brands looking for creators with high-energy entertainment.

5. Mekhi Brown - @mekhibrown

Mekhi is the ultimate "local expert" and a staple in the Philadelphia scene. Known for his curated deep dives into Philly’s best cafes, matcha spots, and hidden gems, he has built a strong, recognizable local presence. 

We’ve worked with Mekhi as a featured on-screen personality for Motto by Hilton, where he served as our boots-on-the-ground guide to the city. His ability to act as a relatable host and authority on urban lifestyle makes him an invaluable asset for brands looking to tap into local culture and community-driven storytelling.

6. Lovie (@lovie.world)

Lovie is the personification of NYC’s creative pulse. A vinyl DJ with an unmistakable aesthetic, she lives at the intersection of music, fashion, and urban culture. We tapped Lovie to authentically represent the New York City vibe for Motto by Hilton. 

Rather than just a content creator, Lovie excels as a brand personality and on-screen talent; her presence alone elevates the visual storytelling of a campaign, making her a perfect fit for brands looking to capture an "it-girl" aesthetic.

7. MamiTiff - @mamitiff

If you need a thumb-stopping take on the latest in pop culture, MamiTiff is your go-to source. Based in NYC, she blends expert commentary on everything from the Met Gala to the Grammys with a sharp eye for beauty and fashion. 

We’ve seen her agility firsthand—she hosted New Year’s Eve with Planet Fitness, where she made the complex logistics of a live event look effortless. She’s a dream partner for brands that need a charismatic, reliable personality to lead the cultural conversation.

8. Quan Bryant (@quanbfit)

Quan is the gold standard for fitness creators who lead with credibility. As a certified personal trainer, he has built a loyal community by providing in-depth, educational tutorials on exercise form and machine mechanics. 

When we partnered with him for a Planet Fitness video, it was a seamless fit. He had already been authentically filming in their gyms for years. His mix of technical expertise and relentless positivity makes him a highly trusted voice for health and wellness brands.

9. Adrian Patterson (@beingadp)

As one-half of the viral creative duo The Goddess Boys, Adrian (alongside his best friend RJ Chumbley) has redefined the lifestyle vlogging space with a signature "goddess" aesthetic. While they are widely recognized as the internet’s favorite "cold brew chemists"—sharing inventive coffee recipes with magnetic energy—their influence extends deeply into high fashion and beauty. We recently collaborated with them for e.l.f. Cosmetics, where they creatively showcased lip balms as a "sweet treat," proving their ability to turn everyday products into high-aesthetic, must-have moments.

The talent on this list represents just the beginning of the creativity and influence within the Black community. We believe that the most impactful, bold social campaigns are built by centering authentic voices that move the needle on culture.
