ABOUT
Team DB is a creative collective building an infrastructure for storytellers, brands, and organizations that ignite movements.
In an evolving world, we amplify multicultural voices at scale, bring bold ideas to life and help young dreamers push social change forward. At all times, we proudly operate from a Black, queer, and womanist foundation.
Team DB is home to impact strategists, makers, and operators led by the vision of cultural strategist Dillon Bernard. He started Team DB with the belief that storytelling is an effective tool for transformative change.
OUR VALUES
We challenge the status quo to build a more inclusive and equitable future. We think about what is possible and build a clear path forward.
We believe in people and their experiences. We use storytelling to heal, elevate, connect, and build within our communities.
We elevate the stories of emerging creatives who have been systematically excluded. We believe in using our voice powerfully and unapologetically.
We stand up for what we believe in. We take on projects that resonate with us. We leave the rest behind.
