DBA Presents
The DBA 
Mentorship Program

DBA’s mentorship program was created in 2021 to provide knowledge, resources and tangible skills to rising Black creators. The multi-week program is presented in partnership with DBA’s leading platform partners including Meta, TikTok, YouTube and more to help mentees grow their digital footprints and online businesses, and also amplify their unique individual voices.

DBA’s mission is to level the playing field for all creators by bridging the racial pay gap within the creator economy. It is our priority to create equity within influencer marketing and this begins with teaching creators exactly what their rates can — and should — look like. We look forward to welcoming new talent to our mentorship program and encourage those who are interested in participating to apply once applications open later this year.
