THE MISSION OF
BLACK N ANIMATED

Our mission at Black N Animated is to create space and support the US Black animation community through their entire careers - from breaking in, to developing a series or feature films. BNA is a resource for creatives aiming to break into the animation industry, or those trying to advance their careers. By creating more access to industry education, targeted talent development, and a streamlined communication channel between Black professionals and students of the craft, we want to empower Black creatives to advance in their careers, while we provide guidance and continual support.
