Mansa is a US streaming platform built around content by and for Black creators and audiences, co-founded by the actor-producers David Oyelowo and Nate Parker. Its own site presents vertical programming, with All Verticals and Featured Vertical Series among its navigation categories. On 2 September 2026 Deadline reported, in a story it labelled an exclusive, that Mansa had launched three vertical drama series directly on TikTok Minis after months of collaboration with TikTok, the first time its shows have appeared on that platform. Mansa announced a slate of ten original microdrama series earlier in 2026. No other trade outlet has carried the TikTok story.
