The BLK Collective Media Group is building the infrastructure connecting emerging and established creators directly to the tools, training, and industry relationships once reserved for a select few. Founded in 2026 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, the organization operates as a vertically integrated ecosystem across four entities: The BLK Collective Foundation, a nonprofit delivering education, workforce development, and mentorship, including its flagship training platform, the Creative XCHNG Series; The BLK Collective Production Studios, a premium content production company; The Reel Collective, a mobile-first vertical streaming platform; and The BLK Film & Entertainment Collective, a film festival and live event platform.

“The BLK Collective Media Group exists to move creators from access to ownership,” said Jacqueline Blaylock, co-founder “building the systems that let talent become infrastructure, not just opportunity.”

The BLK Collective Media Group is a creator-first media ecosystem building sustainable infrastructure across film, entertainment, animation, gaming, and digital media.
