Black Houston Creatives Network (BHCN) is a cultural media platform and creative ecosystem dedicated to preserving, amplifying, and advancing the stories, voices, and lived experiences of Black creatives in Houston. A creative can be an artist, podcaster, fashion designer, culinary artist, filmmaker, musician, tech innovator, or anyone who uses imagination, skill, and expression to shape culture and tell meaningful stories.
Through interviews, storytelling, content production, cultural analysis, live coverage, and community centered events, BHCN archives the brilliance happening in this city and ensures that Black creativity is not only seen, but valued, resourced, and historically recorded. We exist to shift narratives, expand access, and create space for Black creatives to thrive, connect, and be recognized as driving forces in culture both locally and beyond.
