Fun Times Magazine
Before the COVID pandemic, FunTimes Magazine was a glossy print publication spanning 100 pages. As we transitioned to a fully online format, we have continued to be a reliable source of information for the African Diaspora community. FunTimes Magazine started its journey in Philadelphia, PA, over a decade ago, celebrating the African, Caribbean, and African American communities in the Delaware Valley. Up until March 2020, we produced a 100-page print magazine while also maintaining an online presence with around 2,400 likes and reaching 19,000 users monthly on Facebook. However, due to the pandemic, we made a complete shift to online publishing. Since then, FunTimes has grown significantly, amassing over 45,000 likes and reaching three million people on Facebook in just the last 28 days. Recognized as a trusted source within the community, FunTimes Magazine is also a nationally certified Minority Business Enterprise and holds an "A" rating from the Better Business Bureau. We are proud members of the Pen and Pencil Club in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Association of Black Journalists (PABJ), and LION Publishers.

Image: Generated with ChatGPTSeventy-one years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a seismic ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), declaring state-sponsored segregation in public schools unconstitutional. That decision, lauded as a triumph of the Civil Rights Movement, promised equal access to education for Black children long denied their rights. Yet in 2025, the promise of Brown remains incomplete.

In 2024, 15.2% of Black or African Americans had an active side hustle, above the 13.6% national average, and 6.4% worked more than one job during December alone. But there are persisting wage gaps. Black employees make on average 20% less than Whites, driving this imperative.
