Converge Media is an Emmy Award Winning producer of culturally relevant content in Seattle and across the Pacific Northwest. We create documentaries, short films, television shows, editorial and creative writing, podcasts, and local news coverage curated specifically for an urban audience. We believe that the Black community deserve authentic representation, a focus on our community’s issues, and equitable access to elected officials, leadership, and governmental information.

Founded by Seattle Central District natives Omari Salisbury and Erik Kalligraphy, from day one, Converge Media has been a platform to amplify not only our own original content but also the content of independent African-American creators throughout the region, providing them with access to our engaged audience that is interested in their voices and perspectives.
