A Word from the Creator\u2013<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

“I created Black Salt out of frustration with how Black men were often portrayed in film and television. I wanted to build a hero who embodied strength, discipline, and integrity and someone audiences could admire and be inspired by. As a lifelong martial arts enthusiast, I envisioned a protagonist trained in Shaolin Kung Fu who became an elite Interpol agent, taking on high-stakes missions, fighting injustice, and overcoming formidable enemies. His origin story is one of resilience: raised in a foreign land under challenging circumstances, where he developed the core values that define him. My goal was to create a character whose journey not only excites audiences but also makes them root for him every step of the way.”<\/p>\nOwen Ratliff<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
