Tracy Clayton

On February 11, 2019, Netflix's Strong Black Lead initiative announced that they were launching a new podcast featuring interviews with legendary Black members of Hollywood, called Strong Black Legends, to be hosted by Clayton. The first podcast premiered on February 12, 2019 and Lynn Whitfield was the guest.

Clayton announced that she had been laid off by BuzzFeed on September 19, 2018, along with most of the other staffers who had worked on BuzzFeed's original podcasts.

She was named the Ida B. Wells Media Expert-in-Residence at Wake Forest University's Anna Julia Cooper Center from 2016–2017.

Clayton and her co-worker Heben Nigatu launched the first episode of Another Round, produced by BuzzFeed, on March 25, 2015. The show received positive critical acclaim. The A.V. Club described Clayton and Nigatu as "passionate and sharp in their distinct points of view." It was named to "Best of 2015" lists by iTunes, Slate, Vulture, and The Atlantic.

Before joining BuzzFeed full-time in 2014, Clayton wrote for Madame Noire, Uptown Magazine, The Urban Daily, PostBourgie and The Root. She developed the popular Tumblr, "Little Known Black History Facts", now a feature on Another Round.
