This short article highlights the pivotal work of Black artists who assisted to bring African-American experiences into the elite art world. Black Arts as a motion speaks straight to the needs and goals of Black America. The Black artist speaks to the cultural and spiritual requirements of Black people in their artistry.
African-American arts represent a cultural movement. It consists of lots of visual artists, efficiency artists, sculptors, authors, artists, and more. The professionals of Black arts are motivated by a desire to challenge white power structures and assert an African American cultural identity. Black arts aim to serve the community and artists.
During Social Media Week, Black Enterprise and Toyota presented its ‘Innovate or Die: How to Successfully Leverage Your Brand in the Age of Social Media’ panel. The event was moderated by SVP/Chief Content Officer Alfred Edmond Jr (@ALfredEdmondJr).
The event had some major names in social media serving as panelists, including Terrena Carriman (@TerrenaC), Global Social Media Manager at Avon, technology evangelist and Smallbiztechnology.com founder Ramon Ray (@RamonRay), and Tiffany Aliche (@TheBudgetnista), founder and CEO of TheBudgetnista.com.
The panelists provided great insights about what social media platforms to use, when to use them, and what’s appropriate for your business or personal social media accounts. The main points were simple: keep things positive, don’t oversaturate your followers with content, and don’t pressure your fans into buying.
We want to thank the Aol for letting us use their space for the event, the panelists for providing their experience, knowledge, and social media wisdom to all who attended, and finally all the attendees for showing their support.

Black artists emphasize racial pride, a gratitude of African heritage, and a dedication to produce works that show the culture and experiences of black people. In each period, events of the day galvanize black artists to develop, arrange, and transform the world.
