Our Version Media® CIC is a mission-led, community media enterprise dedicated to increasing positive and authentic representation of the UK’s black communities.

We were founded in 2019 by Southampton-born broadcast journalist and community activist, Veronica Gordon, after seeing the harm that the media’s persistent demonisation was having her community’s wellbeing and life chances. She combined her fifteen years’ journalism expertise with her fifteen years community activism to create Our Version Media.

With our motto “Our Voices, Our Stories”, Our Version Media equips people with digital media skills to tell and share their own stories. Our Mobile Storytelling workshops - based on the principles of mobile journalism - teaches everyone from teenagers to pensioners how to create, film and edit impactful stories using a smartphone.

Our work is amplifying black voices, shifting narratives, increasing media literacy and digital media skills, and ensuring more authentic black stories are told. 

This is boosting self-esteem and confidence, while tackling negative stereotypes at the same time.
