In the wake of the U.S. presidential elections, Black Lives Matters protests, and heightened tensions around police brutality, African American are feeling their collective power, and they are using it to shape new cultural norms. This extends to their expectations for brands that want to cash in on Black buying power. Marketers that want to reach African Americans have to find new, innovative ways to drive authentic, culturally relevant engagement while walking the talk of diversity and inclusion.
