Byron Allen
In 2018 he purchased The Weather Channel for $300 million
*Black Stories We Should All Know Series
The Weather Channel didn’t talk about CLIMATE CHANGE before he owned it and now they do!
He also purchased ‘The Black News Channel’ and changed the name to THE GRIO.
GRIOT means storyteller / oral historian in West Africa - (watch Byron Allen talk about that HERE at the 1:11 mark)

I started ‘Black Stories We Should All Know’ March 2023 on Instagram. I plan to catalog/archive those stories here on Substack where they will also be searchable.

Hugs, Love, and Gratitude Y’all!
