A media company built to own what it makes.
LUX PLE Media is a Black-owned media company. We produce television, run press and media buying, sell sponsorships, and own the platforms and IP our content lives on — starting with RAATV.
Own the whole chain.
Independent creators shouldn't have to hand their work — or their upside — to companies that don't look like them. LUX PLE Media keeps it in-house: we develop and produce the shows, run the press and marketing, sell the sponsorships, and own the streaming platform they air on.
That's the model — one company that makes the content, promotes it, distributes it, and owns it, so the value stays with the people who built it. RAATV is the platform. The Access Index is the flagship. The next wave of originals is already in the works.
The Newsroom
Jara Everett has already been in the room for some of the biggest moments in modern Black entertainment — and now she owns the room. Rapper, actress, author, cinematographer, director, writer, producer, and executive producer, she came up rhyming next to names like Young Jeezy and Shawty Redd, toured the country on stage, and wrote the tell-all that put hip-hop's heaviest hitters on the page. Then she stopped waiting on Hollywood and built her own. Today she's the founder of LUX PLE Media and RAATV, the Black-owned streaming network she launched independently — no studio money, no outside backing, no permission. As creator, showrunner, and executive producer of RAATV's first original series, The Access Index: Jackson, she does the one thing the industry keeps refusing to do: find the talent nobody's betting on and turn them into stars. What Jara brings is access, and she's spending every bit of it on the next generation instead of herself.
