kweliTV: Our Culture. Curated (Free/In-App Purchases)

kweliTV is dedicated to Black-centric indie films, series, documentaries, and kids’ shows and has resonated with a broad audience.

DeShuna Spencer created kweliTV in 2012 after looking for a show or movie that centered on Black characters. What little she found didn’t represent her experiences at all. So she decided to create her own streaming service—one that met her ideals.
