In an interview with Food52, Klancy Miller describes how she decided to launch her own magazine, For the Culture, “solely focused on and created by Black women”:

“I was also being introduced to a lot of people who had great ideas, so I just thought, ‘I really want to do this.’ A friend of mine said, ‘You should just do it yourself.’ I realized at a certain point, if I don’t do this, somebody else will, and I might not like the way they do it. So I’d rather do it myself.”
