SAN FRANCISCO/OAKLAND/SILICON VALLEY (November 2013) - From philanthropy to fashion, entertainment to sports, business to politics, and faith to technology, the BayArea REGISTRY strives to be a cultural catalyst for the Bay Area African-American community—a resource that showcases and drives positive dialogue about and support for Black arts, culture and lifestyle. With its mix of stunning photogr
aphy, top pick events and curated business listings, the BayArea REGISTRY shines a spotlight on Bay Area lifestyle from an African American perspective and brings it to center stage. Here you’ll find the experiences of African Americans captured throughout the full spectrum of Bay Area life…eyes wide open, revealing a much broader and diverse lifestyle than one may assume or imagine. There’s no better media than photography and video to capture and document these experiences, perhaps redefining what “Black” in the Bay Area is…or is not. The Bay Area REGISTRY will also focus on Blacks in technology, to be introduced in early 2014. This under the radar group of forward thinking and cutting edge tech junkies don’t get enough attention in our opinion. Soon we’ll cover arts, culture, technology and lifestyle. LA has its entertainers, NY has its investors, DC has its politicians…and we have our techies. This concept, a continuous, reliable, trusted online source of African American information and experiences is not new, but for some reason has been absent in the Bay Area for some time. Thankfully, others before us (hats off to David Ellington and NetNoir, John Hilton and CityFlight,) started on this journey years ago. It has now come full circle with a new face and new technology. As a constant, the Bay Area REGISTRY is a media channel that speaks first to the progressive, modern and sophisticated Bay Area African-American consumer who demands the best in the arts, culture and life. It also will speak to a diverse audience of Bay Area residents and visitors that see, feel and understand African American culture to be a significant contributor to American culture. Enough said. On with the show. And a special shout out to our “secret agents.” I would tell you who they are (and what they do), but then well, you know the rest…
