BlackLight Community is a place where we empower people of color in the arts through life, performance, and well-being. BlackLight was started because there was a lack of knowledge received in predominantly white universities. Noticing the struggle from professors first hand how to express to minority actors what they needed within the context of racial issues or moments in the script that required diving into oppressive content. The lack of care taken to the student's education brought a lot of issues to light, thus BlackLight was born. Having originally been a small platform for POC in the arts to gather opportunities and community and to count on each other when they graduated.

Currently, BlackLight operates as a new non-profit organization where they seek to expand its mission nationally to every regional theater and University department that needs help expanding their diversity. The founder, India Shanelle, believes "The arts allow people to shine through without discrimination or judgment. We're a beacon for those who seek to be heard in their authentic light" and hope that this concert will show that.
