Meet the TB Alliance Creator Collective
We’re bringing seven creators to the 2026 Union Conference in Rio for a chance to bring new audiences inside one of the most consequential global health issues of our time.
About the Collective
Tuberculosis kills more people each year than any infectious disease in the world. Science is advancing faster than in 50 years. But awareness isn’t keeping pace. We’re building a team of engaged and creative creators, independent journalists, and influential voices to change that.

The TB Alliance Creator Collective is a diverse group of content creators helping to tell the story of the world’s deadliest infectious disease, and the innovative science that seeks to overcome it. We are kicking off this initiative by inviting these seven content creators to the 2026 Union World Conference on Lung Health — the world’s leading gathering of TB researchers, clinicians, and advocates. Over about five days, (November 16-20), they will attend the conference, participate in a panel and workshop showcasing their skills, visit a local community engagement site, and more.
They’ll have access to the science, the people, and the work — and the freedom to tell the story their own way. And they will use the experience and knowledge they gain from this trip to create content that helps shift the global conversation on TB.
Why Creators
More people are turning to social media to find and consume information, and many trusted voices in public health and related issues have turned to content creation to reach them. Creators often reach audiences and cover subjects that traditional journalism and institutional advocacy miss. And they bring something those institutions can’t: a personal voice, a relationship with an audience, and the editorial instincts to make complex science land.
The TB Alliance Creator Collective is built on a simple bet — that giving a small group of serious creators direct access to the work of ending tuberculosis will produce public health storytelling that makes an impact.
