We're are looking for writers and creatives who have a story to share. If you're interested in submitting to Black Luxe & Co., please read the information below.
At Black Luxe & Co., We Want To Tell Stories From the Black Perspective.
Contributing writers will offer a male and female perspective by submitting high-quality yet relatable stories, and provide value to our readers. We want to uplift our readers, challenge popular opinion, all while constantly reminding our readers that being black is lit!
Who is the Black Luxe Reader?
Our readers are a healthy mix between "Knuck if you buck," yet sophisticated, and equally knowledgeable of current politics and corporate vernacular. Our readers can fluently express their views on economic growth within the black community, all while holding nothing back when they hear "Cash Money Records taking over for the '99 & the 2000’s."
The Black Luxe & Co. reader is woke AF, open-minded, savvy, educated, motivated, professional, entrepreneurs, students, and influencers - deeply immersed in the black community, lifestyle, and culture.
Our Goal
We want to provoke discussion, ruffle some feathers, all while sharing our personal life experiences. We have no problem challenging the social norm, dismantling generational beliefs, and calling out injustice. We want our writers to be inspired to write in a relaxed, or journalistic approach and in the most effective way to capture and engage the reader. Most importantly, we want our readers to leave feeling encouraged.
Topics
Content will range from the following topics: culture, beauty, politics, friendships, marriage, family, sex, dating, health, college, overcoming or dealing with difficult situations, and so much more!
