About Guesie
Guesie’s roots trace back to YouTube, in the vibrant Do You Know Black? universe created by Darnell and Alyssa Gilet. That platform celebrated and educated on Black history and culture through a blend of gameshows, talk shows, and engaging content. The core belief of that universe, that seeing is believing, is what drives us today.
Built on that foundation, Guesie takes that same energy, joy, and creativity beyond the screen and into the real world. We realized there was a greater need to turn inspiration into tangible outcomes, so we built Guesie to create opportunities, forge stronger networks, and spark lasting change for our communities. While content remains a powerful way to reach the masses, Guesie’s mission is to move beyond the screen and directly into the lives of the people we serve.
