A streaming platform aimed at unifying all forms of representation is coming to a device near you.
FOR-US TV is a subscription-based streaming network launching this fall that will showcase various original content, including documentaries, films, TV series, and more per a news release.
“I have always been passionate about creating a space for underrepresented communities to share their stories,” said Svetlana Chernienko in a statement. “FOR US TV is my latest project, and I am excited to provide a platform for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ BIPOC voices to be heard. Our goal is to showcase a wide range of content that celebrates the diversity of our communities, and we hope to inspire and empower our viewers. We are also in pre-production in New York City with my talk show, where I will take my advocacy and passion for mental health like never before.”
