About Us

🎬 Melanated TV

Melanated TV is the culture-first streaming destination for films, series, live TV channels, live radio stations, podcasts, music, wellness, entrepreneurship, and storytelling that amplifies melanated voices across the globe. 🌍✨ Operated by CrownThrive, LLC, we are not just another streaming platform — we are a hub for discovery, empowerment, and opportunity.

We speak directly to our communities: the dreamers, the families, the students, the entrepreneurs, the artists, the activists, and the storytellers. Whether you’re watching a family drama, vibing with a live radio station, learning from an Afro-Diaspora documentary, or submitting your own project, Melanated TV is built for you, by us, and with future generations in mind.

🚀 Our Mission

Empower. Elevate. Entertain. At Melanated TV, our mission is simple yet bold: to bring melanated voices to the forefront of global media. We do this by:

  • ⚡ Access: Affordable streaming for everyone, across devices and geographies.
  • 🌱 Sustainability: Every subscription supports initiatives like EcoDrive reforestation and Stripe Climate carbon removal. We also run seasonal campaigns to restore oceans and plant trees worldwide.
  • 💡 Opportunity: Providing creators with fair pathways to monetize and grow — through licensing, royalties, sponsorships, and community partnerships.

🌍 Our Vision

We imagine a borderless cultural network where representation is the default, not the exception. Where creators can tell authentic stories, communities see themselves reflected, and streaming contributes directly to social good. This vision drives us to build legacy, inspire the next generation, and create generational wealth for our communities.
