Est. 2019
The First Multi-day Conference For and By Black Podcast Creatives and Audio Professionals.

Afros & Audio 2026...
The next chapter of Afros & Audio meets creators where they are, in their cities, studios, and digital spaces. Our 2026 pivot introduces a year-round model built on accessibility, collaboration, and growth. Through regional micro-events, creator activations, and new partnerships, we’re creating more ways for indie creators to connect, learn, and earn.
Afros & Audio is evolving and amplifying. The sound of independent storytelling is only getting louder, and everyone’s invited to tune in.
