SBG Digital is a nonprofit research and media consultancy.

We counter the culturally specific mis- and dis-information targeted at Black communities in digital spaces to shift harmful narratives about race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class.

SBG Digital Mission

We bring much needed cultural nuance to the fight against mis- and disinformation. SBG monitors how targeted information campaigns permeate Black digital spaces in order to produce and consult on culturally relevant media projects that target and correct harmful narratives.

Through our research and visual linguistics tracking, we’re able to strategize around current online discourse, provide critical insight about harmful content, and rewrite narratives around race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class.

Areas of Focus

Misinformation

Content containing inaccurate information and stereotypes about Black communities runs rampant across digital platforms. We follow current online discussions and intervene in misinformed conversations.

Disinformation

Intentionally misleading information is routinely targeted at Black communities in an effort to advance white supremacist, capitalistic, patriarchal, and heteronormative ideals, undermining the fight for the liberation for all Black people. We produce content that corrects erroneous doctrines.

Institutional Barriers

Access to resources, materials, and information necessary to resist information wars and organize communities is often kept behind the gates of exclusive institutions. We remove those barriers.

Geographic Bias

Digital engagement and political education efforts rarely focus on targeting Black women and gender-nonconforming folk who live outside of coastal cities and major metropolitan hubs within the United States. We center the Black communities in the forgotten spaces.

Our Work

We take a two-prong approach to countering false information and shifting dominant narratives around race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and class: Research & Consulting + In-House Media Projects
