ABOUT US
OUR ORIGINS
TBD Magazine was formed by a collective of creatives, writers, and artists seeking a space where expression is prioritized and cultural legacies are acknowledged and celebrated.
As a team, we seek to create a space for BIPOC and QTPOC creators to explore, express, and discuss the depths of our identities and put forward the concepts, ideas, and questions that arise from our shared and individual experiences.
We document the expression, history, and progression of art, fashion, and music while celebrating the creative world that exists in the minds of the artists we showcase.
We want to advance the visibility of marginalized identities in media through our digital platforms and share global narratives that truly reflect the experiences of BIPOC and QTPOC people affirmed by the visual representation of our communities.
OUR VALUES
OUR PURPOSE
As a magazine, we emphasize the origin of culture in Black Queerness and other marginalized communities.
We seek to elevate the artists and individuals who continue to eternalize the progression of culture that originates from Black people across the world.
We seek to create a world where everyone is seen, no matter the expression necessary.
