A Message From Our Founder
My name is Toni Brown and I am the founder of exceptionallyblack.com. As a young black girl, I experienced many of the same obstacles and challenges that still plague the people in Black communities all over the world. I’ve seen firsthand the incredible strength, resilience, and talents within the Black community, but I’ve also witnessed the need for more positive representation, resources, and support.
I believe that knowledge is the key to the empowerment of underserved communities, so I created this website as a way to provide valuable guidance and resources to anyone who needs it.
