LYNAE VANEE

FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

It was all

a dream.

LYNAE VANEE, 3x NAACP Image Award Nominee, BET Culture Class of 2024, and Social Media Phenom, is no stranger to the overlapping and intersectional nature of industry-driven content that targets Black Americans, whether good, bad, or ugly.

Never beating the allegations of being a voice for the people, Lynae often encounters the sentiment that Black communities need “A” new leader. Stamped into the culture as a multifaceted performer, poet, influencer, and creative, Lynae uses her digital platforms to speak on race, feminism, politics, and inclusivity.

However, averse to notions of propping up individuals to centralize power in movements for freedom, Lynae sought out a solution to empower many by promoting a decentralized but unified form of resistance through media.

GOOD PEOPLE is just one way to do it.
