HUE is a progressive consultancy that provides full-scale digital campaigns for organizations and businesses throughout the African diaspora. Our unique approach to global online advocacy combines sustainable development solutions with traditional and new media that inform, agitate, and empower communities to create social change.

Our Founder is Jamila Brown, a digital strategist and international development practitioner who specializes in communications and community development in the African diaspora. Leaning on her own diverse heritage and her love for advocacy and technology, she created HUE to amplify the voices of nearly 1 billion people of African descent — many of whom face some of the world’s greatest challenges.

HUE believes that an interconnected diaspora is a prosperous diaspora. One that, when equipped with the right tools and resources, can create its own solutions, industries, and innovations to better itself.

Testament of HUE's commitment to our collaborators in the Diaspora

For 11 years, we’ve been celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in tribute and song. But I believe that 2015 was our largest and most successful concert to date thanks to HUE’s digital marketing strategy. HUE worked effectively with all departments to make the content and outreach dynamic. Plus, our social media following and e-mail lists tripled!

A Shared Dream Foundation

HUE ran our national social media campaign and coordinated our local communications strategy for our 60 affiliate organizations for the 2013 National Week of Action Against School Pushout. HUE also provided a social media training for our members and gave one-on-one social media and communications consultations to groups in need. Not only did we increase our social media following by 5%, but we also received more than 50 press hits including the AP and AFP Wire.

Dignity in Schools Campaign

While I headed the Inequality and the Common Good of the Institute for Policy Studies, I relied on HUE’s communications savvy to help promote the racial wealth gap initiative. Their research, particularly on the subject of Afro-Latin@s in the U.S. and in Latin America, added nuance and depth to our work. With HUE, we were able to gain valuable media attention on outlets such as Counterpunch and Sirius Satellite Radio.

We had the pleasure of working with HUE in 2012 during the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa’s Open Forum and Youth Summit in Cape Town, South Africa. Jamila Brown acted as a moderator and facilitator during our Youth Summit break-out sessions and her expertise and energetic presence fostered enthusiastic engagement among participants from all over Africa and the Diaspora. We look forward to working with Ms. Brown again.

The Collective

Illume Creative Studio

A gathering of Afro-descendants of the Americas had been unprecedented prior to 2011. HUE worked with ODECO and collaborators from around Latin America to create a digital campaign that helped support the first Cumbre Mundial de Afrodescendientes in La Ceiba, Honduras. Since the Summit, I’ve continued to count on HUE’s expertise and to build and connect Afro-descendant movements in the Americas.
