With initial financial backing from New Jersey-based and black-owned bank, City National Bank, Unify has board members from major entertainment and technology entities such as Samsung, FOX and Warner Brothers who are helping to  lead the strategy in this growing company.

“While Hollywood has really only began to dabble in embracing diversity on a more consistent basis when it comes to TV shows and movies, UNIFY will provide immediate access to programming as it relates to the African-American experience,”

…says Derrin Woodhouse, the online streaming advisory board member and head of Experiential Marketing for Samsung.

“As more original programming becomes readily available, audiences will no longer have to wait for mainstream video streaming services, TV networks or motion picture studios to give the greenlight to the next “big” AA TV show or movie. Unify will be the go to destination.”
