ABOUT US
BLACKnOUT has been created as a place to celebrate black achievement and history through the inspiration of our blogs, videos, pictures, apparel and wine. Developing a narrative to get out of our own way, to begin to experience and embrace a world of legacy too often forgotten. Its time to remove the misconceptions surrounding us as a people and the black experience.
From three fifths a human to our ancestors’ wildest dreams...
We are BLACK-n-OUT
BLACKnOUT
SIP & PAINT

BLACKnOUT WINE

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE
BLACKnOUT?
CULTURE
Being African doesnt mean I was born in Africa. It means I have embraced my culture and acknowledged my worth. I am an African not because I was born in Africa, but because Africa is born in me.
DANCE
Why do I dance?
Dance is my medicine it is the scream that eases for a while the frustration common to all human beings based on race, creed or color are 'invisible'. Dance is the fist in which I use to fight the sickening ignorance of prejudice.

FAMILY
Just imagine how powerful the Black family would be if we put forth the effort to break generational curses that have brought about pain, suffering, struggles and resentments. We cant afford to continue passing on these behaviours. Its time to change the narritive! Trade disfunction for love, unity, encouragement and support. Black power and Black unity breeds Black Excellence. Its time to build Black generational wealth... Its our time!
MOTHER HOOD
Has faught a thousand battles... and is still standing... Has cried a thousand tears... and is still smiling. Has been broken, betrayed, abandonded, rejected and still walks proud... Laughs loud, lives without fear, loves without doubt. This woman is beautiful. This woman humble.
This is a Black Mother!
This is a Black Mother!
SELF LOVE
I am Black... I am Beautiful... I am Intelligent... I am Enough
Society doesnt define me. Media does NOT tell me who I am. I come form overcomers, the true definition of perserverance and strength. therefore i will accept nothing less than that for myself.
