Oye- I’m Dr. Salaama Journey the person behind Merida Collective and B1 Entertainment.
Merida Collective Magazine is where we share stories that matter- not headlines, but the people actually shaping Merida’s culture.
We are building community by spotlighting the voices traditional media forgets: Black residents, Mexican creatives, women and LGBTQ+ folks.
Merida Collective Community is where stories become real life! Meetups, workshops, and pop-ups that turn ideas into action.
B1 Entertainment is where we go beyond just teaching music. It’s about helping artists grow with industry knowledge, creative support and hands-on training.
No titles. No noise. Just your ideas, your energy and our space to grow together.
If you want to tell stories that matter? Submit to the magazine.
If you want to build real connections? Join a community event.
If you want to create music that lands? Work with B1.
And yeah- no ego, no "us vs. you." Just you, the work and the city.
