The Doors Open
January 1
Streaming for the global Black family — films, series, music, and live events from the diaspora, by the diaspora.
Every story on Khemet is grown, not manufactured — made by us, for us, at a pace worth savouring.
No algorithmic filler. No borrowed narratives. Films, series and live events made by Black creators across the continent and the diaspora — curated one story at a time.
The Catalog
African and diaspora cinema, originals and classics — small-batch, by category. Acquisitions are in negotiation now; titles are announced when the ink is dry.
The Drum
The story of a family, told on one drum. Thirty chapters. The telling has already begun — follow the fire.
Follow the fire →The Fire Circle
A monthly stand-up comedy night from a different city of the diaspora — Houston, Dallas, Accra, Lagos, Los Angeles, London. Streamed live on khemet.net, hosted around the fire.
First circle: the last Friday of January. Free online for the Founding Family; tickets in the room.
Content that moves the culture.
The catalogue is what we acquire. This is what we make. Nine originals in development — comedy, documentary, music, competition and drama — commissioned by Khemet and made by creators from across the family.
Live stand-up on the last Friday of every month, a different city each time.
Afrofuturist anthology — each episode a different continent, a different tomorrow.
One global competition across genres and continents. The mic goes everywhere.
Diaspora members trace the line back — and meet the family still standing there.
Food and travel tracing one dish from the continent to the diaspora and back.
Diaspora filmmakers paired with continental creators. One film, two homes.
An annual celebration of heritage and service, broadcast to the whole family.
The night the athletes get honoured by their own, on their own platform.
Docuseries on the builders — the capital, the cost, and what got built anyway.
We commission from the family first. Tell us what you'd make.
Seven hubs. Three continents. One house.
Khemet isn't run from one city and shipped outward. Each hub commissions, produces and represents its own region — so the work arrives in its own language, with its own accent, made by people who live there.
Before the doors open, there's the signal.
Between now and January 1 we're doing three things in the open. Not a teaser campaign — the actual work of standing a platform up, where you can watch it happen.
Across all seven hubs and every platform — until Khemet means Black storytelling, told our way, to anyone who hears it.
Regional directors, content leads, and the founding creators. The people who'll run this are being brought in now, not after launch.
Acquisitions, originals and distribution locked before day one — so January 1 opens with a catalogue, not a promise.
Every revolution starts with a signal.
The family that builds the house owns the house
Founding members lock a founding price for years, receive a numbered place in the family, a merchandise coupon good for a full year once the shop opens, and their name on the Founding Wall.
Your number is yours. It does not renew, it does not expire, and no one else can hold it.

Crown
Founding numbers are limited. When they're gone, the founding price goes with them.

Welcome to the family
Your founding number arrives by email. 𓂀
Your stories. Our platform. The world watching.
khemet.net is acquiring films, series, comedy specials, documentaries, and music content from Black creators worldwide — licensing and revenue-share conversations open now, ahead of the January launch.
Your work is with us
We review every submission before the doors open, and we answer either way. 𓂀
Creative professionals: the Khemet Kreative Database (KKDB) — a registry of actors, writers, crew, and artists — opens with the platform. Founding creators get priority listing.
