JUST IN TIME FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH, NEW PLATFORM BRINGS AFROCENTRIC EVENTS TO YOU
Nationwide -- A new event platform called frocentric connects Black and African people within diaspora to events that are 'Afrocentric' in nature.After understanding that larger, well known ticket sites do not have a problem listing and taking money from right-winged, anti-Black organizations, Wilson, 40, the founder of frocentric started building his own platform.
Even with a background in both programming and digital marketing, it took over a year to take frocentric from concept to launch.
He said, "I built frocentric from the ground up with the aim of serving the black experience by creating a common hub where people can find similar events in one place. The true value of any event or meetup is what you received from attending. However, the energy surrounding the website where you buy your tickets is just as important as the message."
With the slogan 'Find Events that Matter', the concept of frocentric is more than just an event marketplace, but a platform geared towards promoting events that channel the black experience through activism, business, music, culture and arts.
