Moss is the founder of HBCUconnect.com - the largest online
destination for Black college students and alumni. Lee is
the founder of Diversity City Media - the company behind BlackNews.com,
BlackStudents.com, BlackPR.com, BlackExperts.com, and BlackSpeakers.com.
Although they operate their own separate companies, the
two have formed Lee Moss Media to house their joint properties
which also include BlackHistory.com, BlackWomenConnect.com,
BlackInAmerica.com, and other sites to be launched some time
this year.
They also plan to unveil a new service that allows individuals,
groups, and businesses to create their own social networks
- utilizing the same technology that grew HBCUconnect.com
to over 1.2 million users. This development will go live before
the end of August 2008.
Recently profiled in Ebony Magazine and Black Enterprise
Magazine, Lee calls himself a visionary. "Our ultimate plan
is to create the largest network of relevant web sites for
African-Americans," he says. "We already have the best online
properties, and the best web architects. So many companies
have launched different initiatives targeting African Americans
online and have failed. We're going to show everybody the
right way to do this."
Combined, both Lee and Moss have a staff of 12 people and
own over 600 premium domains that are Black-related. They
plan for all of them to be active web sites, that attract
millions of monthly unique visitors. Currently, their roster
of clients include Nationwide Insurance, BET, Verizon, American
Airlines, Ford, Nissan, and many others.
