INUA is a vibrant online digital publication dedicated to celebrating the leadership of Black and Brown individuals. We spotlight entrepreneurs, champions of social justice, and students of color who are making remarkable contributions. From the United States to the African diaspora and beyond to the Caribbean, we embrace all facets of “Blackness” with pride.

A notable CEO in the banking industry recently claimed, “There aren’t enough black talents.” Such statements and the recurrent narratives of being “the first black” in various roles or spaces underscore the ongoing struggle for representation. However, waiting for others to pave the way has consistently proven futile. We believe actions speak volumes.  Following the example of other Black and Brown leaders who have intentionally created avenues to showcase talents, like Tyler Perry who has established platforms where people of color are acknowledged and revered for outstanding achievements in their respective fields.

“INUA” originates from Swahili, meaning “to elevate.” At INUA Magazine, under the themes of “Leadership, Tourism, and Global Culture,” we aim to elevate our diverse communities of Brown and Black leaders who are forging new paths and deserve recognition across various domains:

• Higher education
• Science and technology
• Health and wellness
• Philanthropy
• Entrepreneurship
• Diversity and inclusion
• Criminal justice
• Business and Finance
• Environmental sustainability
• Tourism

Furthermore, we endeavor to showcase the richness of global cultures, spanning from the Caribbean to Africa. Let’s uplift one another through INUA’s platform, championing excellence and diversity every step of the way!
