'I'm beyond excited to collaborate with Revolt to bring something fresh and necessary to the conversation,' said Vanee. 'As a Black woman and creator, working with a platform that doesn't just feature us but truly believes in us — that's rare, and it means everything. We're taking the topics people are already talking about, from politics to identity and power, and presenting them in a way that feels real, relevant and grounded in community.'

Bud Billiken Parade on Chicago's South Side is back
Grab your lawn chairs. The back-to-school festival returns Saturday. Why it matters: For more than 90 years, the Bud Billiken Parade has been a Chicago tradition that has drawn massive crowds to celebrate Black culture, art, music and history just before the start of the academic year. What to expect: It's the largest African American parade in the U.S. and features marching bands, dancers, floats, live music and more. Flashback: The parade was established in 1929 by Robert Sengstacke Abbott, founder of the African American newspaper The Chicago Defender. The name Bud Billiken originated from the newspaper's youth page, "Defender Junior," which then transformed into a club and mascot, "Bud the Billiken," which was said to serve as a protector of children. State of play: The very first parade honored the young newsboys who sold the newspaper. Since then, public figures, community leaders and entertainers like former President Barack Obama, Muhammad Ali, Nat King Cole, Oprah and many others have taken part in the celebration. If you go: The festival is 10am-4pm Saturday starts at 35th and King Dr. and ends at 55th Street.

CTV Was Supposed To Be The Great Equalizer
Tony Gonzalez is Co-Founder and CEO of Mundial Media, a leading contextual marketing platform focused on multicultural audiences. We've all heard the promise: CTV is the future. It's the great equalizer, blending digital targeting with the storytelling power of TV. That vision is authentic and compelling, but turning it into meaningful results, especially with multicultural audiences, requires more than flipping a switch. After more than a decade immersed in multicultural media strategy, I've learned that reaching Hispanic and other diverse audiences on CTV takes a mindset shift from checking boxes to embracing cultural fluency. There's no debate: U.S. Hispanics over-index on CTV. They're streaming more content across more platforms and engaging with content in both Spanish and English. This behavior represents a powerful opportunity, but only for brands that approach this audience with intentionality. Simply put, to connect with this audience, marketing must reflect the lived experiences, values and aspirations of its target audience. African American audiences also play a significant role in shaping CTV trends, driving substantial viewership and cultural influence across various genres and platforms. Like Hispanic viewers, they are not a monolith. Connecting with them requires more than surface-level gestures; it calls for a genuine investment in representation, storytelling and a deep understanding of the community. Too often, the default approach mirrors traditional broadcast methods: repurposing a general-market ad, dubbing it in Spanish, adding a few cultural signifiers and distributing it through a Spanish-language app. While well-intentioned, this rarely taps into the deeper layers of identity and relevance that multicultural viewers respond to. So, what should brands do instead? It starts with involving the right voices up front. That means working with creatives, strategists and researchers who bring cultural insights and lived experiences to the table from day one. Brands should commission original creative, developed specifically for the audience they're trying to reach. Casting should reflect cultural authenticity; scripts should consider vernacular and humor that come naturally, and story arcs should resonate with the community's values, including family, perseverance, cultural pride and ambition, to name a few. CTV audiences are nuanced. Language is just one dimension. Factors like generational perspective, region of origin, acculturation level and shifting identity expressions all share what resonates. Increasingly, these dimensions overlap in ways that require more than translation; they demand tailored, informed storytelling. One of CTV's advantages is its robust targeting capabilities. Brands can layer data such as language preference, geography, cultural affinity and viewer behavior to deliver highly tailored messages. However, access to those tools isn't what sets great campaigns apart; it's how you use them. Take Toyota, for example. Rather than viewing 'Hispanics' as a single audience, the brand develops distinct purpose-built creative for bilingual, English-dominant and Spanish-dominant audiences. They respect nuance, and in doing so, create ads that connect rather than just categorize. 5 Ways To Take A CTV Multicultural Strategy To The Next Level If your brand is serious about building meaningful connections with Hispanic audiences on CTV, here are five foundational shifts that can move the needle: The majority of the 60-plus million Hispanics in the U.S. are bilingual or English-dominant. Language matters as a starting point. Cultural attitudes, values and identity shape what drives engagement. Brands can leverage these insights through qualitative and quantitative research, ethnographic studies, social listening and analysis of first-party data. For example, identifying a high affinity for nostalgia-driven content among second-generation Latinos could influence whether your ad leans into retro aesthetics, multigenerational storytelling or familiar music from the 2000s. Inclusive media planning begins long before the media buy. Storytelling that reflects lived experiences through casting, scripting and narrative lays the groundwork for genuine connection. Work with writers, producers and directors who mirror the communities you want to reach. Authentic representation builds trust and lifts campaign performance. CTV allows real-time testing and refinement. Experiment with cultural cues, language combinations and regional variations to enhance your understanding. Use performance data to refine messaging and evaluate emotional response metrics, such as whether viewers watched to the end. Did they comment, share or follow up? Optimization should include a combination of cultural impact and click-through rates. Hispanic Heritage Month is important, but it is not enough. Audiences notice when brands disappear for the other 11 months. Consistent visibility, even in smaller ways, signals commitment and builds brand equity. The most trusted brands in multicultural households are those that are present year-round, not just seasonally. Data is crucial, but cultural fluency comes from lived experience. Collaborate with partners—media platforms, creators and strategists who understand the nuances of diverse audiences because they are part of those communities. Demographics reveal who someone is; fluency helps you know how they think, feel and live. A Shift From Reach To Resonance CTV has made targeted media more accessible than ever. However, meaningful results emerge when brands shift their perspective on multicultural engagement from a box to check to a core growth strategy. Multicultural audiences, particularly U.S. Hispanics, are influencing content. They're shaping trends, redefining narratives and setting the tone for where media goes next. African American viewers are equally influential as cultural catalysts, with impact across every platform and genre. Brands that get this right will capture attention and earn loyalty, advocacy and long-term value from the communities shaping the future of entertainment and culture.

‘Joined at the Roots' is an exhibit to change the Haitian and Black American narrative
Haitians and Black Americans have lived side by side in South Florida for decades. While the relationship between the two communities has not always been smooth, they have managed to coexist, 'building families, businesses, churches, and communities that defied the odds,' according to Bart Mervil, CEO of My Urban Contemporary Experience (MUCE) and organizer of the 'Joined at the Roots' exhibit, currently on view at the Little Haiti Cultural Complex through Saturday, Aug. 30. The exhibition aims to shift public perception by exploring shared stories that connect Haitians and African Americans, emphasizing the historical and ongoing ties between the communities. It showcases the works of a diverse group of artists working across painting, sculpture, and photography. 'Joined at the Roots was born out of a need to honor the quiet, powerful history of solidarity between Haitians and African Americans,' says Mervil, describing a legacy often eclipsed by stories of division. He notes that while both communities have made significant contributions, their impact is rarely part of mainstream conversations. 'From local politics to high school championships to shared porches and block parties, we have had real moments of collaboration, unity, and brotherhood,' adds Mervil. 'This hybrid culture did not just survive poverty. It gave rise to entrepreneurs, educators, artists, and a thriving Black middle class. This exhibition is a love letter to that shared struggle and success.' According to Mervil, every artwork featured in the exhibition contains an element of the shared narrative of the two black communities in Miami. Mervil explains that the exhibition highlights significant historical examples of collaboration between Haitians and African Americans in South Florida. 'The first wave of Haitian immigrants were welcomed by Black churches; residents in Overtown opened their homes, shared meals, and offered resources,' says Mervil. A central quote prominently displayed within the exhibition reads, 'We're either going to come together or we're going to perish together.' Mervil describes this message as pivotal. 'That quote hits deep because it's not just a warning, it's a truth. We chose it because it speaks to the heartbeat of the exhibition: We go together,' according to Mervil.. He continues, 'There is no separation in this family. Haitian, Bahamian, African, Jamaican, African American, we are all branches from the same root. When we see ourselves as one body, one vision, imagine the power of our collective economics, our collective voice, our collective vote. We don't rise until we rise together.' The idea for the exhibit began with a series of conversations with artists and community leaders about the underrepresented stories of cooperation between Haitian and African American residents in Miami. Among the artists contributing to the exhibit is Fabienne Polycarpe, a first-generation Haitian American and cultural wellness curator. She contributed a series rooted in her upbringing around her mother's beauty salon. Polycarpe's art explores hair as a profound cultural symbol, reflecting both Haitian traditions and Black American influences. 'Hair has always been more than just hair; it's been ritual, identity, memory, and survival,' says Polycarpe. As a child, she remembers how her Haitian mother instilled the importance of hairstyles that reflected discipline and respectability. 'I wore ribbons and 'boule gogo' [braid balls]; my hair parted into clean plaits,' she says. 'But deep down, I admired the colorful beads Black American girls wore.' Over time, Polycarpe began to recognize how her artistic voice was influenced by both cultures. 'And as I got older,' she adds, 'I realized my artistic voice was formed by that dual gaze, the Haitian lens of structure and reverence, and the Black American lens of freedom, creativity, and expression.' Ultimately, she concludes, her art exists in the space where these two cultures meet, carrying the language of both traditions. Another featured artist, Nate Dee, who grew up in Miami, presents a portrait of Uncle Al (Albert Leroy Moss), an African American DJ and community leader whose legacy helped bridge cultural gaps. Dee, a Haitian American muralist, recalls coming of age during a period when being Haitian carried social stigma. DJ Uncle Al's visible support for the Haitian community left a lasting impression on him. 'I went to high school down here in the 1990s, and it was really rough to be Haitian, especially in the late '80s and early '90s,' Dee says. 'So, to see a person like DJ Uncle Al, who wasn't Haitian, showing love was big for me.' Reflecting on those years, Dee adds, 'As a teen I listened to his music and even grew up thinking he was a Haitian American DJ, only to find out later that he was in fact African American. This was in part because he was very active in Little Haiti.' DJ Uncle Al, recalls Dee, founded the Peace in the Hood festival to bring together people from various neighborhoods and cultural backgrounds. His goal was to celebrate community and demonstrate that peaceful coexistence and mutual respect were possible and necessary. 'He wanted to show that we have more in common than what differentiates us, that we are all truly the same. Just different branches from the same tree.' Artist Tawana Dixon contributed two pieces to the exhibition. One pays tribute to Arthur Teele, an African American political figure whose work helped lay the foundation for the Little Haiti Cultural Complex. The other captures the vibrant Haitian presence at the West Indian American Day Parade in Brooklyn. 'I ultimately chose to center the portrait around Teele because I wanted to explore the relationship between communities,' says Dixon, who was raised in New York and now resides in Miami. 'In doing so, I hoped to honor the bond between Haitian and African American communities in a way that wasn't too literal or expected.' Reflecting on her second piece, Dixon says her New York upbringing made it essential to include Brooklyn's Little Haiti in the show. 'While Miami's Little Haiti came first and is home to established institutions like the Cultural Complex, Brooklyn has the largest Haitian population in the U.S. and a community that has fought hard for recognition,' she says. She adds, 'Haitians in New York were once seen as underdogs in the Caribbean community, but through resilience and pride, they've earned deep respect. Their presence, especially during the West Indian Day Parade, is powerful.' Ruth Louissaint, an educator and Haitian artist, contributed a shrine centered around Dana A. Dorsey, Miami's first Black millionaire. Her installation incorporates flags, religious symbols, and historical elements that reflect the intersection of culture and spirituality. 'To me, the shrine embodies all three themes of the exhibition: identity, resistance, and unity,' says Louissaint. Other artists in the exhibition also explore the emotional depth of blended identities. Joe Wesley's photography captures moments of intimacy, pride, and joy between community members. Oscar Martinez sculpts a tribute to Dana A. Dorsey. Rico Melvin's paintings evoke ancestral memory, while his textile art speaks in the quiet, powerful language of heritage passed down. The works of Edwaffle, Nica Sweet, and Anthony Lumpkin add layers of generational reflection, migration, and domestic life. For Mervil, the exhibit reflects MUCE's broader mission to preserve heritage while diversifying the artistic landscape in South Florida. 'MUCE has always believed in bringing culture to the people, not keeping it hidden behind museum walls,' he says. 'This exhibit lives right where it belongs: in the neighborhood, in the community, and in a space built for cultural expression.' Beyond its artistic value, the exhibit aims to foster real-life conversations among community members and visitors alike. Polycarpe says the community's response has been emotional and affirming. 'What I cherish most is when someone stands in front of my work, pauses, and says, 'That's my story,'' she explains. Dee hopes younger generations inspired by his tribute to Uncle Al will learn about the DJ's contributions. 'I hope they explore his legacy and all of the positive impact he had on the Miami cultural scene,' he says. Louissaint echoes the sentiment, emphasizing the role of art in countering the divisiveness currently shaping American discourse. 'We are currently in a strange time in the U.S. where much of the rhetoric is divisive. I think events like this are important and an act of resistance against this growing trend throughout the country.' 'Joined at the Roots' also acknowledges the evolving nature of cultural identity in cities like Miami, where gentrification and displacement threaten to erase long-standing community narratives. Artists like Polycarpe see their participation as a form of preservation, a way to anchor the stories of a vanishing neighborhood in memory and meaning. 'There's a deep sense of loss, but also a sense of responsibility to share my stories of witnessing and experiencing the forever that are no longer 'forevers' but a love letter to Little Haiti,' Polycarpe says. 'Being part of this exhibition is an honor. It feels like I am giving something back to the place that raised me.' WHAT: 'Joined at the the Roots' WHEN: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; Saturday and Sunday schedule may vary based on programming and events. Through Saturday, Aug 30.
