BLAC Atlanta
Magazine
This is the 20th anniversary year of BLAC, the premier lifestyle magazine for African Americans in and around Detroit. We cover the people, places and issues of importance to our community. We strive to be inclusive of the entire African diaspora in our region, covering African descendants of various national and ethnic backgrounds.
We also empower readers with the information they need to fully appreciate and enjoy metro Detroit. We are committed to providing our target audience – ranging in age from late 20s to upper 50s – with engaging, high-quality editorial and visual content.
Founded in 1999 as African American Parent, the magazine’s name was soon changed to African American Family. During our 10th anniversary year, the publication was renamed BLAC (an acronym for Black Life, Arts & Culture) to more accurately reflect our content and mission. Our goal is to make BLAC a more trusted and treasured resource than ever before. Source
