    Happy New Years! We wanted to start off 2024 with a brand new website. https://lnkd.in/g_NKeX4 We wanted our new website to accurately reflect the amazing global community we had built, showcasing the visionary creatives featured in our print publications and the various touch points where we engaged with our community to create moments of inspiration. Umber is more than a magazine; it is a space and platform where Black people and people of color from around the world can share their stories and passions, taking ownership of their narrative. Globally Amplifying Creative Perspectives That Matter. Photo: Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah photographed 2019 at Yoshi's Jazz Club and Japanese Restaurant, Inc.
