Representation in news media and thought leadership lacks racial and gender diversity. KLOWTIFY was founded in 2023 to help fight this problem and balance the scales. As a Black- and woman-owned business, we are proud to say from minute-one our mission to recruit, retain, elevate, and support underrepresented voices and businesses. Through internal and external initiatives, KLOWTIFY strives to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in all pillars of our business including conscientious staffing and leadership opportunities, clients and author recruitment, and vendor selection. To date, KLOWTIFY is proud to boast the following success metrics in our first year of operation: We are a Black owned business; 50% of our leadership is women; our top male and female leaders earn the exact same pay; 75% of staff including freelance contributors identify as BIPOC; 66% of our direct vendor relationships are Black-owned or Black-led businesses; 75% of our creative team identify as BIPOC; 100% of our professional services team identifies as Black. KLOWTIFY is a proud member of the Diversity Action Alliance, CEO ACT!ON, and the Ida B. Wells Society.
