Had a powerful moment recently w/ artist Gary Tyler hearing his story & meanings behind his quilts.

Gary was wrongfully convicted of murder in Louisiana at age 16, sentenced to Death Row & remained in prison for 42years.

His quilts include self-portraits, frustration when his pardon was first rejected, addt’l snapshots from prison & other stories he wanted to share.

Gary Tyler was finally released in 2016 at age 57. I was so sad and ANGRY but Gary was so calm and peaceful. “Don’t be sad, this is a celebration!” He said. “I understand it now. It humbled me but they couldn’t break me”

Mea Culpa. Trash through and through. I damn near wanna throw the tv I watched it on away

Blkem's rebrand

Honestly, I am really excited for this rebrand because it's still going to incorporate elements from Blkem such as Blocks, exclusive sections, premium features, identity verification, and the ability to enhance activities on a social media.

This rebrand is a rebuild that's going to be unique in its own way.

As we said, the focus will be on economics, that will eventually lead us towards pushing resources in the Black community and open us up to more access to it.

I will update on what this name change will be soon!!
