Why I built this

He asked thousands of strangers to introduce themselves in one comment section. Thousands of them did.

They wrote out their skills, their businesses, what they’re building, in their own words, to nobody in particular.

I was genuinely inspired going through them. A whole network of people on missions, all reaching for each other, buried in a comment section where nobody can actually connect.

So I made a directory. Their own words, searchable, each card linking back to their Instagram. A better way for them to find each other.

8,124 comments read. 7,489 of them were somebody introducing what they do. The rest were shout-outs and praise.

The directory

Straight to your inbox

New people, new missions, and anything worth passing on. Occasional, not spam.

“This is what the internet should be for.”

Power Move! Love love love Hi I’m Chinwe Kalu-Uma ✨ Media & Communications Executive, Journalist, Strategic advisor/manager and overall creative @queenmediaglobal. I spent 10 years at the largest Media organisation and then became Director CEO of a journalism charity that funds journalists across Africa, Asia and South America. I’m moving more into my creative side so interested in connecting with people across TV & Film. 📺🎬🎥 My career is really diverse as I believe in Ecosystem empowerment. The intersect of media, government and civic society is my current research focus for my masters. I’m particularly passionate about how these elements play a role in African development on the continent and the diaspora. You can connect with me on LinkedIn more 🤍

Always happy to discover good people doing good things. ❤️🌴 Come say hello! 👋🏾

Hi everyone 👋🏾 I’m Sherisse, a writer and creative based in London. I’m building Margin & Type, a creative platform focused on storytelling, culture and voices that don’t always get enough room in traditional publishing/media, and I also write Backchat Griot (over on substack) where I explore Black British identity, Caribbean heritage, womanhood, belonging, language and culture. I’m currently writing across essays, children’s books and a few other slightly-too-many creative ideas 😂, with a particular interest in Black British and Caribbean stories and better representation within publishing. I’d especially love to connect with Black writers, editors, publishers, agents, illustrators, designers, podcasters, researchers and other creatives working around culture, identity, heritage and storytelling. Also very specifically looking for a brilliant children’s book illustrator at the moment, particularly someone comfortable illustrating Black characters, and contemporary Black life. More generally, I’m keen to meet people interested in collaborating on essays, interviews, podcasts, books, events and creative projects. Basically, if your work sits somewhere around Black stories, culture, publishing or interesting ideas, come and say hello. I want to know what you’re building too 👋🏾

What's good, everyone? I'm a writer, director and performance poet. I headlined TNT Sports' only spoken word show with a tribute to Muhammad Ali, made bus stops interesting for Bauer Media Outdoor UK, and recently wrote, directed and produced my debut audio-drama, Beneath the Cracks—it follows a promising young poet who faces resistance when he confronts the legacy of discriminatory ideologies that persist at his university. It's set for release this September.
