Gracie’s Corner TV was created throughout the peak of the pandemic when then 7-year-old Graceyn (Gracie for brief) and her siblings had issue discovering various content material to watch on tv or on-line throughout homeschooling. Gracie’s dad and mom, Javoris Hollingsworth, Ph.D., a Chemical Engineer & Arlene Gordon-Hollingsworth, Ph.D., a licensed Clinical Psychologist, determined to take issues into their very own arms and create what was lacking as an alternative of complaining about it.
“We came up with Gracie’s Corner TV because we couldn’t find programming that centered Black people the way we would have liked. Black characters always seemed to be the friend, or in the background, so we wanted to create a program that put relatable Black characters in the spotlight.”
Javoris “Jay” Hollingsworth, Founder, Gracie’s Corner

AfroTech is the place for all things Black in Tech, and we couldn’t think of a better opportunity to be honored than in a room full of amazing people pushing toward the same goal of betterment and advancement of Black people.” Javoris “Jay” Hollingsworth, Founder, Gracie’s Corner
