Blavity is an American Internet media company and website based in Los Angeles, created by and for black millennials. Their mission is to "economically and creatively support Black millennials across the African scape, so they can pursue the work they love, and change the world in the process." Blavity was founded by Morgan DeBaun (CEO) and co-founded by Jonathan Jackson, Jeff Nelson and Aaron Samuels in 2014; DeBaun had worked at Intuit for three years prior but left to found the new company. Blavity's name is a combination of the words "black" and "gravity", inspired by DeBaun's experience as an undergraduate at Washington University; she was struck that eating lunch with a few friends at their regular table in the college cafeteria over time attracted more and more black students to their discussions of everything from politics to pop culture, a kind of intellectual "black gravity".
