Zack James is the founder of Animeme Studios and creator of one of YouTubes' most successful and longest running animated series YO MAMA -- a channel that's garnered over 8 million subscribers across all platforms and over 2 billion views.
Considering the longstanding success of the franchise, many people are unaware that the show's creator is an autistic man who was born with non-verbal autism. He was never supposed to speak -- let alone, pioneer such phenomenal new media success. Originally gaining popularity as "Outback Zack", Zack started off as a YouTuber who published viral videos out of his grandparents’ trailer. Sensing an opportunity on the growing YouTube platform, Zack combined an early love for cartoons with his own boundary-pushing comedy to create one of the internet’s most successful franchises, now celebrating its 10th year anniversary.
And now, Zack is confronting tech giants like YouTube and Facebook. As algorithms continue to shift in favor of the corporations, Zack is fighting to ensure that they become more transparent and that the future of digital media is inclusive of all voices.
