Journey

Prior to The Impact Network, the media landscape lacked
diversity in broadcast media ownership.
“African-American ownership in media is very important,
without it we can’t tell our stories our way” and until
we can share our narratives authentically we’ll always be characterized
by other’s narratives that are not our own.

– Bishop Wayne T. Jackson,
CEO of Impact Network

As faith leaders and community advocates in the Detroit- Michigan area for over 30 years, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson and his wife Dr. Beverly Y. Jackson has served the African-American community and inner-city. They have seen the hardships faced by families first-hand, from education, food, safety, housing, finances and over all necessities of life. As pastors they’ve realized that these disparities reached beyond Detroit and echoed in other neighborhoods and cities across the US. Through Divine inspiration this husband and wife team felt a call to do something about it, not just for their local community but for the community at large.

In 2010, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson and his wife Dr. Beverly Y. Jackson answered that call by starting a television network that would spread positivity and uplift the urban sector in ways that hadn’t existed by impacting the total well-being of  viewers. The Impact Network started in about 200,000 homes and has since grown to over 80 Million. Impact’s goal is to reach beyond broadcasting and use its influence to invest further in building lives both  individually and collectively.
