Create Labs/TONL

In a historic first for Women’s History Month, Create Labs Ventures has partnered with TONL, the Black-owned stock photography company co-founded by Nigerian-American social entrepreneur Karen Okonkwo, to launch the first AI image generator exclusively trained to create authentic, diverse photos of Black and Brown communities.

As AI-generated images become more common in media, advertising, and storytelling, this initiative ensures that Black and Brown people are represented accurately and with cultural depth, rather than being erased or misrepresented by biased algorithms.

TONL Image Generator, part of the advanced AI platform EMPWRD AI, allows brands, creators, and organizations to generate culturally accurate and inclusive images tailored to their needs—ensuring that diverse communities are represented authentically in AI-generated visuals. The TONL Image Generator is a key feature within EMPWRD AI, which also includes AI social impact chatbot and a document analysis tool for equitable and bias-free AI research.

DEI

The launch of the TONL x Create Labs AI Image Library and Generator comes at a time when DEI initiatives across industries are under attack.

“This isn’t just about creating more diverse images,” says Abran Maldonado, co-founder of Create Labs Ventures. “It’s about ensuring that communities of color have ownership over how they are represented in the technology shaping our future. AI has the power to cement our stories into history—or erase them. We’re here to make sure it’s the former.”
