Says honoree and leading Black media entrepreneur Allen, “As a child, strong, positive African American icons such as Berry Gordy, Jr., Rosa Parks, Muhammad Ali and Martin Luther King, Jr. helped me see myself differently, and changed the trajectory of my life. Celebrating and amplifying iconic individuals is something we can never do enough of, especially for our children.”
This year, Clix honorees showcased creative roles that span the world of superpowered fiction, inspiring historic and contemporary – good and sometimes villainous – characters, elves and dragons, music superstars, specials hosts, comedies and dramas, the supernatural, and the strange.
Our Top 50 Black Voices led streaming audience favorites, awards contenders and big global box office titles such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, The Woman King, Black Adam, Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Stranger Things, The Boys, Euphoria, The Godfather of Harlem, Glass Onion, and Kaleidoscope.
Clix identified 2023’s icons, leaders, and legends of excellence in the Black community of talent to include exceptional creators, actors, producers, directors, and writers of 2023’s most beloved, critically acclaimed and innovative streaming movies and series as the nation celebrates February’s Black History month.
