I founded GlobalGrind.com because there was nothing else like it. We created a site that delivers a uniquely inclusive and diverse take on entertainment, celebrity news, music, style and politics for the post-racial, culturally sophisticated new American mainstream. We see the enormous gap between the increasingly bland pop entertainment and overly narrow urban media landscape – a huge untapped space that GlobalGrind.com – like so many of my other ventures – is uniquely positioned to serve and promote. GlobalGrind is the world according to “Hip-Pop” – the hip side of pop culture.
We deliver our vision and content online, via mobile, Facebook and Twitter – all forward leaning members of the new America, who are now the majority, can join our movement to raise the bar in media on any platform. We talk to, interact with and promote a vision of a renewed, engaged, creative, optimistic and forward-thinking America.
Our team is as diverse and passionate as the generation they are apart of and serve: a generation that put the first African-American president into the White House, that integrated hip-hop into the mainstream, that redefined style and coolness in America, and which is progressive, trend-forward and always likes to have a good time.
We strive every day to bring you the coolest celebrity-driven entertainment and hard hitting stories about social issues and an inclusive progressive take on politics that reflects your values like it does ours. We like to hit a high note every once in a while smiling at the sea of craziness around us. We seek to engage, entertain and promote the best new voices. We deliver powerful celebrity exclusives, access that puts you on the red carpet or front row at the hottest events, tips and insight that keeps you styling, riveting news and social justice stories that demand your attention in a credible, authentic way but always with an entertaining point of view.
Join us on our global movement and definitely stay on your grind!
