✍️ Intro Message (From Romeo Pough)
I’m Romeo Pough — award-winning filmmaker, writer, director, entrepreneur, and servant of Yahweh, rooted in the Celtic spiritual path.
I built BlackSeed because I’m tired of gatekeepers. Tired of people telling us we don’t belong, don’t qualify, or don’t fit their mold.
We were never meant to wait on permission. So I built my own platform — for underdogs, artists, visionaries, single moms, side hustlers, dreamers, and warriors.
Here’s exactly how BlackSeed’s 14% fee works — with no secrets, no games, and no exploitation.
