Sharifah Hardie Launches "Black Guest List" a New Platform Connecting Authority Black Voices with Media Opportunities

Nov 12, 2021

Black Guest List connects Black luminaries with radio hosts, television producers, live shows, digital outlets, print publications and trendy podcasts looking for Black guests.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Nov. 12, 2021 - PRLog -- Founded by Sharifah Hardie, the newly launched platform Black Guest List provides media outlets immediate access to Black influencers, Black thought leaders, Black politicians, Black business professionals, Black authors, Black entertainers, and Black artists interested in locating media opportunities.

Historically it is hard for hosts to find people from diverse backgrounds to interview. Black Guest List makes finding these guests simple, by creating a comprehensive searchable database of potential guests and providing a space for Black people worldwide to share their stories.

"We are not looking to just make a list of Black people. Our aim is to provide access to media opportunities qualified guests otherwise would not be aware of, to increase Black representation in the media and put their distinct views front and center," says Sharifah Hardie Founder of Black Guest List, Chief Executive Officer of IT TV Network & President of the Southern California Black Chamber of Commerce - Long Beach Area.

"As a talk show host I don't see many Black guests listed on the websites I use to find new guests. I want to change that. I want to make Black Guest List the go-to platform for Black people of note to find interviews on podcasts, television shows, print publications and radio shows and make it easier for anyone with a microphone to find a fascinating guest without dealing with intermediaries!"

Radio hosts, podcast producers, and television show bookers can use the well-designed interface of the website to find expert guests for interviews. With so many radio talk show hosts, podcast producers, online radio show producers, satellite radio producers, and television program bookers searching for new interview guests each week, it can be tough to book a suitable one in time. Black Guest List will now make their lives much easier.

Whether the media outlet needs a Black comedian, Black doctor, Black professor, Black athlete, or a Black educator — Black Guest List is the ultimate Black media source for anyone looking for guests for a tremendous enlightening interview.

Hosts can readily explore the available guests for their shows, and media outlets can submit opportunities and requirements. For more information visit the official website at https://www.BlackGuestList.com.
