Stories that reflect the full richness of Black queer life. Melanin Media Productions brings memoir, conversation, documentary storytelling, and creator strategy together to amplify our voices—on camera, in community, and on the page.
Black queer culture is being made right now—by us. MMP documents our stories, art, nightlife, and the communities we build, connecting the creators shaping our history and giving their work room to grow.
Christopher-Marcus “Topher” Johnson is the Founder and CEO of Melanin Media Productions, building the platforms and infrastructure behind the Second Black Gay Renaissance. Through film, memoir, photography, podcasts, creator strategy, and community spaces, Topher champions Black queer stories told on our own terms—boldly, beautifully, and beyond respectability politics. From New York City to the Bay Area, his work celebrates the full spectrum of Black LGBTQ+ culture, because culture is not a niche.
