It might surprise you to know that many of them have their own apps!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sichas_Black_Twitter_app\"><\/span>Sicha&#8217;s Black Twitter app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sicha&#8217;s Black Twitter app demonstrates the cultural utility of mobile social networking platforms. Blacks primarily access the internet through mobile devices, and their use of Twitter extends beyond traditional social networking platforms. While Blacks typically interact with one another through chat rooms, mobile applications allow them to participate in open-ended discussions in near real time. Black Twitter&#8217;s ubiquity is a consequence of design decisions made to facilitate adoption.<\/p>\n<p>While mainstream social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have largely ignored the needs of the Black community, Black Twitter has been a source of support, education, and political progression for the community. The social media platform also provides comic relief and community. Because the African-American community has long been ignored by mainstream media, it&#8217;s encouraging to see this kind of representation in the digital space. It has been a catalyst for many positive changes, such as stopping a book deal between a Seattle literary agent and a George Zimmerman jury juror.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questloves_Black_Twitter_app\"><\/span>Questlove&#8217;s Black Twitter app<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the recent controversy surrounding Jay-Z and his music, the drumming legend Questlove has revealed that a single off of the legendary hip-hop group&#8217;s 1997 album wasn&#8217;t actually released in the U.S., and in fact was never released at all. This shocking revelation made the music icon&#8217;s fans lash out, and the controversy has now spread across the internet. In response to this, Questlove has launched a Black Twitter app to help &#8216;Black Twitter&#8217; users find out what he&#8217;s been doing for the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The black social media app aims to help black users find more information about Questlove and his new film, &#8220;Summer of Soul.&#8221; It premiered during the virtual Sundance Film Festival on Thursday and has inspired countless virtual dance parties for festivalgoers. In addition to his directing debut, Questlove has also teamed up with a documentary called Summer of Soul, which documents the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that featured performances by such renowned musicians as Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. Unlike Woodstock, however, Black Woodstock received far less publicity and didn&#8217;t garner the same kind of attention.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Questloves_Blackr\"><\/span>Questlove&#8217;s Black(r)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In his recent memoir, Mo&#8217; Meta Blues, Questlove reveals how the legendary rap mogul stumbled upon the social networking site. In the book, the Grammy-nominated emcee addresses the &#8220;lates&#8221; and &#8220;fakes&#8221; of the music industry. He also digs through album cuts and finds pivotal moments in the history of hip-hop and black art.<\/p>\n<p>As a member of the Grammy Award-winning group The Roots, Questlove has a regular gig on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. In addition to his solo career, the Grammy-winning musician has produced projects by D&#8217;Angelo and Amy Winehouse, designed sneakers for Nike, and collaborated with Jay-Z on several albums. Questlove has a number of projects underway, including the documentary Summer of Soul, which won Best Documentary Feature at the 94th Academy Awards for &#8220;Best Documentary Feature&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ani_DiFrancos_Righteous_Retreat\"><\/span>Ani DiFranco&#8217;s Righteous Retreat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ani DiFranco has announced that she is planning a music and artistic creativity retreat in Louisiana. Tickets to the retreat will cost more than $1,099, and tickets are already sold out. The retreat is scheduled to take place at the historic Nottoway Plantation &amp; Resort, which once housed hundreds of slaves. Nottoway is now a museum and function space. The retreat is a reaction to the recent backlash against slavery.<\/p>\n<p>The event is called &#8220;Righteous Retreat&#8221; and will be held in a former slave plantation. Nottoway Plantation is considered the largest antebellum plantation in the South and is owned by billionaire Paul Ramsay, who had been a supporter of the Liberal Party. This is a shocking move that elicited a public outcry. A boycott of the event is expected.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"356\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YmQZeYBX5r0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Black Twitter App?
