Nope. That’s why it’s called a black hole. The exception is something called Hawking radiation. Sometimes little atomic-sized particles can split into two things and recombine. Happens all the time. Normally you don’t see it. Near a black hole sometimes one of these halves, rather than recombining with its partner gets sucked into a black hole, leaving the other one stranded. Turns out you can actually see that. So it’s not the black hole emitting light, it’s light near the edge of the hole – the “event horizon”. Once you cross that event horizon, you’re gone, even if you’re light.

this is one of the exciting and mysterious things about Einstein’s work. That relativity says light has mass and light beams can be bent by gravitational fields. if the gravity is strong enough then even light does not escape.

Nope. It can’t escape the gravitational pull of the black hole.
One of the things that happens before anything heads into the black hole is spaghettification. This is where something gets stretched vertically and compressed horizontally into long thin shapes. I’ve always wondered what spaghettified light would look like.

Nothing can escape a black hole because the pull of gravity is so strong. No one really knows what happens to objects and lights once they get sucked into a black hole. One theory is that black holes lead to parallel universes, but we just don’t know.

A black hole is defined as a part of space from which nothing can escape, including light. Black holes suck in matter from around them which causes them to grow in mass. The theory is that they don’t grow forever or last forever though; the black hole emits ‘Hawkings Radiation’ which causes it to shrink back down or dissolve.
That would make me think that the black hole doesn’t have an ‘other side’ that you can pop out on, but that everything it sucks in gets compressed then turned into Hawkings Radiation. Which is much less fun than finding yourself in a parallel universe.
