Black History Month 2021: Celebrating Black Excellence

Black History Month is a time of celebration and education. This month, Pinterest will showcase Black Excellence across categories including fashion and beauty, home, food and travel. 

We’re building the world’s inspiration company by empowering diverse voices and ideas with employees, on our platform, and within the broader community. This month, Pinterest will showcase Black creators and their talented contributions across our platform. Working with our internal employee resource group, Blackboard, we’ve partnered with creators like LaToya Lanice, Josiane Konaté and Kaya Marriott and prominent Black leaders to offer ways to get inspired by Black culture and ideas to strengthen allyship within communities. On social, we'll be highlighting creators like lifestyle creator Hannah Bronfman, celeb makeup artist Kilprity and mother daughter fashion duo fashNcurious.
