... This literally blows my mind. All of these companies have thousands of staff members, billons in assets. In 2015 with a $20K grant & enormous will I began building @kweliTV. We’re less than a skeleton crew. I work 15 hour days out of my row house on my dining room table... 4/
... I just start paying myself last year. My current annual salary is $19K. I could tell you about all of the challenges, setbacks & discrimination I’ve faced (and still endure) as a #blackwoman trying to get funding & build a startup. Instead, I want to show gratitude

... to those who believed in me & have invested (money, time or by subscribing) in @kweliTV. Startup life is sooo hard & knowing we have a growing customer base & 300+ filmmakers counting on us to succeed keeps me going when I feel like the odds are stacked up against me ... 6/
... Some questioned if black people wanted to see the type of content we stream on @kweliTV. We’re not monolithic. Some said I shouldn’t dare compete with Netflix or Disney+. We’re building our own lane in this space. I believe there should more Black-owned media! ... 7/
