About TrendingBlack
It's hard to keep up with the Culture.
TrendingBlack changes that.
Every new tab becomes a curated feed of the stories that matter to you — Black culture, business, tech, wellness, and everything in between. No algorithms learning your insecurities. No "personalization" that's really just ad targeting. Just good journalism from sources you already trust.
SOURCES:
The Root. Black Enterprise. Blavity. Afrotech. The Grio. Essence. Updated throughout the day, summarized so you can scan fast and go deep when something hits.
BROWSE BY TOPIC:
Your feed opens to The Wave — everything, freshest first. Filter down to any lane:
- Culture Drop — music, entertainment, and culture
- Glow Report — health, wellness, and beauty
- The Receipts — business, finance, deals, and accountability
- Worldwide Black — politics, diaspora, justice, and the global community
- The Come-Up — tech, education, sports, and founders
THE DETAILS:
- Loads instantly — articles are cached locally, so your new tab never feels slow
- Dark-mode editorial design that looks like it belongs on your screen
- Summaries so you get the story in seconds
- Tap any story for the full summary and the community thread
- Search and filter across every topic
- Read anonymously. No account needed, ever.
- Want to react or leave a comment? Sign in with Google. That's the only thing an account unlocks.
YOUR DATA:
Reading is anonymous. We don't know who you are, what you clicked, or what you read.
Sign in with Google only if you want to react to or comment on articles. When you do, we store your name, email, and profile picture — nothing else. Your reactions and comments are tied to your account so you and other readers can see them.
No ad tracking. No selling your data. No algorithm built to keep you scrolling.
Install it. Open a new tab. That's the whole onboarding.
