the most powerful beings on the planet work together in groups🌚

I swear sometimes the hardest part of producing a song is coming up with a bridge. Granted most songs don't have bridges anymore. Bridges gonna make a comeback and when they do I'm gonna have this catalog of songs I've produced with Bridges. #YupYup

Ok, I'm caught up on what happened in Montgomery now. That man tossed his hat in the air and it was a wrap.

Them white shirts be hungry as hell 😂 💀

App Update Corner

We just pushed an App Store update and it is currently in review. If you have TestFlight, then you can use the new version 2.0.5 (55) until the App Store is approved.

Here's what's fixed:

[Fixed] GIF issues
[Fixed] Blurt Char limit
[Fixed] Message Char limit

Android users:

We fixed the media upload issue for newer Android versions and uploaded but Play Store rejected the app yesterday, so we're are responding to the rejection.

Apologizes for the issue caused.

One of my old professors, Dr. Benjamin Talton, is the Director of the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center at Howard U, so I just wanted to share this info for those interested:

"The Moorland-Spingarn Research Center at Howard University is the largest privately owned library, archive, including prints and photographs, and museum collection, related to the global Black experience."

We need a feature like ‘trending topics’ that admins or regulars can start each week to foster engagement. You could call it ‘The Tea’ @blkem @askalicia

PSA,

As always, here's another update. Some of what we are working on below and more.

Safe Zone Mobile beta testing will probably be in February/March. We are looking to Pilot launch in Detroit around the end of April. More to come soon.

Blkem blocks is in development. We estimate a 4 weeks completion timeframe but that also depends on any issues that may arise. We will launch a beta test before full launch.

File caching will prevent the app from reloading every single time when you switch screens.

Racism against Black people DOES NOT get addressed explicitly as it should, by those who control the means. The reason Black people NEED to be in positions of MEANS, so that there can be a ZERO TOLERANCE assertion in spaces where we control.

The MEANS in Movie and/or TV Production, The Press, Essential Businesses, Natural Resources etc..

I was watching "The Challenge" series Season 30 where they didn't address racism against a Black person but in Season 31, they addressed bullying.

Let's set PRECENDENT!

Blkem blocks update:

Blkem blocks are currently in development. Once we reach a certain point of development, we will be able to estimate a time completion date.

Also, Blkem blocks for professionals will be added as well….

PSA,

Android notifications are fixed and iOS in-app visual notifications as well. Will test redirection on click.

We are working on a few more updates (which are almost completed) and will push out this version to app and play store.

Thank you for your patience.

Monday is tomorrow for us and many...so we have to start figuring out a better server and a cost effective price point.

We do not have our own servers yet...that is something we hope to get soon but like with all servers, it requires them to be in a cool room, 24/7.

I know we have some engineers on here...any advice on cost effective servers for a start-up?

Thanks in advance

Yes...we have a campaign in draft mode in Ingiegogo. Waiting on New Era to confirm information before we launch...the campaign will be for more than just fixing Blkem..It will focus on "Safe Zone Mobile", a feature we have been working on that is dear to us. This feature will, we know will save more Black lives...we have also establish perks as well but our biggest perk that we still have to iron out is a way for members to partially have ownership of the project.

Apart from this, the campaign will be used to create job opportunities, retain a lawyer, market SZM, and more.

If we had a lot of time, we would not hesitate. From 9-5, to a pregnant wife, managing Blkem, working on projects, meetings with other Black business owners etc..sometimes we are just overwhelmed but we are trying. Thank you for the suggestion

Not a feature yet but something we can look into...What we will do is create a google docs and share it. Ya'll can list any new features and we will check and see if we can implement

DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN USE THE DESKTOP SITE (BLKEM.COM) TO:

1. TURN NOTIFS ON/OFF
2. UPLOAD A PROFILE PHOTO
3. POST AND VIEW STORIES (DASHES)
4. PIN BLURTS TO YOUR PROFILE
5. CREATE AND PARTICIPATE IN POLLS
6. RECORD AND POST VOICENOTES

All,

As you all may have already known, Jackson, Mississippi is currently facing a water crisis, whether it's deliberate or unintentional. The majority of the folks down there look like us...they are us.

Time after time, our community is faced with these challenges and in this day and age, we should be able to assist.

One way is by donating to a Black Owned Water Company who is actually out there delivering cases and cases of water!!

When it comes to effective community building, in order to differentiate yourself from the rest, you have to do less talking, more work, and become INNOVATIVE.

We see many Black folks on Twitter, just talking their life away (talking points that have been in discussion decades ago), while W.S. is taking more action, against our community.

We're different!!!

A sneak peak of what we have coming, will be displayed soon. This is the start of the Blkem eco-system.

Collaboration over Competition

#blkem #blkemecosystem #neweranation

We need to start inviting more people on this platform

If they only understand what will become of this, they might be here sooner but we have to learn to GROW!

Don’t just wait for the finish product

Afro beats be hitting nowadays.

Anyone into Afro beats?

And this is what we have been saying. It's only important to some people, when issues are knocking at their door. No issues, no reason to do anything and this has to change
