We are thrilled to share that Cue The Culture Magazine has officially been acquired by Mississippi-based non-profit, Arise The Future! This move transforms Cue The Culture from a for-profit venture into a mission-driven platform eligible for grants, empowering us to grow as a ‘for teens, by teens’ publication and new age media outlet. 

 

As part of this transition, we will reintroduce Cue The Culture with a video-first approach designed to appeal to the NOW generation. We will complement this video-first approach with a brand-new Cue The Culture shop, featuring affiliate links, merch, and products from Black Social Media Influencers, establish an online creator academy, and fuel our fury facilitating social media marketing campaigns for brands and advertisers. 

 

Over the years we’ve poured a lot of passion into Cue The Culture since launching in 2020 and we are am grateful for our Editor-In-Chief, Alberlynne “Abby” Woods to be able to join Arise The Future’s board and continue on as a volunteer to help guide a seamless transition. 

 

When asked about this unique acquisition, Abby said:

“Cue The Culture has always been about celebrating Black social media influence and influencers, and now with Arise The Future, we can take that vision even further. I’m excited for this new chapter as we focus on providing a platform for youth to express their creativity with storytelling about the people and trends that interest them. This is just the beginning! “

 

Arise The Future’s Executive Director, Tina McNeal said: 

“We are beyond excited to bring Cue The Culture into our organization. Its mission aligns perfectly with our values, and we can’t wait to support the next generation being able to gain real world experience with writing, journalism, graphic design, video, the creator economy, social media, and new age innovation.”

 

We’ll continue producing annual print editions when our budget allows, and for the first time, we’re able to accept tax deductible donations! We can’t wait to bring this exciting new vision to life—stay tuned and join us in this journey!

 

Arise The Future is a non-profit 501c3 organization. Contact arise@cuetheculture.com for more information.
