Hi I’m Shana Black,
Our Founder and CEO
Former teacher turned entrepreneur and innovator
Being an educator at heart, I create brands and products to inform and educate underserved communities. I created Black Girl in the CLE in 2016 as a passion project because I realized that there was a gap in information that was reaching Black women in Cleveland. Since then, I have gotten to develop podcasts and new brands for niche-specific audiences including the LGBTQ+ community, and teens.
