With the rise of the online sector as the primary source of news, Clutch has been an industry leader in forging the movement into the digital age for its target demographic. With a site that has been accumulating a steady increase of viewers each quarter since its inception, Clutch has proven that there is a market for Black women that hasn’t been filled before.

Clutch is the only online magazine for Black women that is updated numerous times daily and releases a full issue every Monday. Weekly interviews with the biggest names in the world (Russell Simmons, Diahann Carroll, Sheila Johnson, Hill Harper, Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, John Legend, Suze Orman, among others) are mixed with editorials by some of the most eclectic minds of this generation.

Clutch has barely scratched the surface of how potent it can become. Declining newspaper/magazine circulation, increasing digital awareness from consumers and outstanding content are three of the biggest reasons why Clutch will continue to be a force.

The Woman Of Color Manifesto

We would like to challenge all of our sisters to support and love one another . Let’s build and repair and try to live by the following manifesto. Even though it is entitled “The Woman of Color Manifesto,” it can be translated to all ethnicities. But because we are proud black women we wanted to speak directly to our gorgeous sisters.

• As a woman of color – I will continue to be respectful to myself and others.
