iZania.com is a trend-setting leader in online networking for Black people. Our goal is to enable our members to leverage Internet connectivity to achieve positive outcomes for the Virtual Black Community. This word is derived from a combination of Internet and Azania, which means the people of Africa. So, iZania means connecting the people of Africa via the Internet.
Based in the South African philosophy of Ubuntu, (”I am what I am because of who we all are”) and the idea of consensus building, the concept perceives society as a community to which all individuals belong and is built on close relationships and group interactions. The community is held together by a feeling of mutual security and harmony. In this way, we hold to the traditional African values.
Our intent is to become the best virtual facilitator that connects and transforms the efforts of Black people – economically, socially, educationally, politically – to affect positive outcomes in our communities. We mobilize African American online networking, and extend our efforts to a global initiative. More than networking, we make the ‘NET WORK for you!

Urbanstop is an online community that focuses not only on Hip Hop, but the hip hop culture itself by way of helping to promote hip hop music that will propel the industry in a more positive direction, as well as building up the confidence of those who wish to pursue a career in music. We also cater to those who love music, giving them a public outlet in which they can say anything and everything that crosses their mind [within reason], as the site is not fully focused on music itself, but the people who love and enjoy it. It’s a network for a younger crowd, typically between the ages of 15 and 30.
