ABOUT US
Black City Stories is a solutions-oriented media outlet dedicated to Black people living in Europe.
We are an independent, Black-led media outlet committed to investigating in-depth Black Lived Experiences, breaking down the systems and contexts of structural racism and its ties with other forms of social disparities. We amplify successes, strategies, and solutions and thereby empower young Blacks in Europe to find strategies to deal with racism and be inspired by role models.
Black City Stories is shaping change through relational journalism.
We are striving to cultivate a form of journalism that emphasises connecting with our conversational partners and their experiences while reflecting on our roles and responsibilities in creating and dismantling barriers—making relationships and our ways of relating the operational basis of our work.
Black City Stories fortifies cross-border collaborations and relationships.
We are collaborating with almost 20 media professionals, academics, and artists currently living and producing in Austria, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. Want to join or support us with your contribution? Please shoot us a message!

This initiative is co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Stars4Media pilot project. With their generous support, in partnership with our collaborators, we were able to deliver the first vivid series of articles, photo documentaries and videos.
