REVOLT presents unfiltered conversation about current events with the leaders of Black culture including artists, activists, politicians, experts and more. “I always wanted to develop a platform to report the news from our perspective, from our lens, from our people, so I decided to launch REVOLT Black News,” said Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. “We’re here with solutions. We’ve already heard about what we can’t do, but this is what we can do.”
