In June, Snap announced that its 523 talent incubator — which had launched the previous December — was about to expand. The parent company of Snapchat said it would launch a Black Creator Accelerator that would provide 10,000 per month to 25 recipients.
Three months later, Snap has revealed the first class of Black creators that will benefit from that financial boon. As part of their membership in the Accelerator, those videomakers of color will also receive mentorship, learning opportunities, and complementary tech.
The 25 awardees are all based in the United States. Some of them ply their trades in the most-watched content categories on the internet. Fashion influencers Kai Michelle Scates (pictured above) and Walé Oyerinde will take Snap’s money, as will family creators Nita Creekmore and Sasha Williams. Chefs Keshia Bryan and Daven Gates will bring their recipes to the Black Creator Accelerator as well.
Other Accelerator participants are bringing their eclectic interests to Snapchat.

In the zombie apocalypse, no one is safe. It's the strict adherence to that simple rule that has made the cast list of The Walking Dead a bit of a revolving door in the seven seasons that it's been terrifying audiences on AMC. Most recently, the show said goodbye to Sonequa Martin-Green's Sasha Williams, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the season seven finale by swallowing some poison in the hopes that her walker self would get the drop on Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and take him out. (Spoiler alert: It didn't work. But A for effort!) Martin-Green, who'd starred on the series in some capacity since season three, left the series for the lead role in CBS All Access'...

Since the premiere of The Walking Dead in 2010, various showrunners who’ve adapted the Robert Kirkman comic book, from Frank Darabont to Scott Gimple, have offered their own contributions in the form of original characters. The Walking Dead has strayed considerably from its source material since its premiere, and the writers have offered new characters not directly featured in the original comic series as a means of expanding story lines, offering our main characters obstacles, or to act as a plot device to a wider storyline. Some of the show’s original offerings have ranged from forgettable to wildly successful, and these are five of the show’s best original characters introduced to the show. These five have offered interesting story lines, complex arcs, and dramatic tension to the wide universe of The Walking Dead.
