NEW BLACK BUSINESS APP TAPS INTO THE SUPERHERO IN ALL OF US
Superheroes emerge out of crisis situations. This can be seen in the Black Panther film when T’Challa was faced with the crisis surrounding Wakanda.
T’Challa became the “Superhero” when he tapped into the power of his humaneness and was willing to share the richness of Wakanda with each individual in the world. There is no doubt most Black Businesses in America and the world for that matter are marginalized at best and suffer from a lack of resources for their survival.
The BLACKBiz App, when utilized in a communal fashion, becomes the answer to our troubles because it ignites the “Superhero” in us.

Karma's WORLD On Netflix is a Provocative And Entertaining Series
Review by nZinga Austin
Karma's World is another African American character on Netflix. My father asked "are there any more Black cartoons on Netflix?"
This animation reminds me of Motown Magic because it has music in the cartoon. Ludacris, the hip hop star turned actor is the creator of this cartoon. I don't know this show that well but Karma Grant, is one of the main characters in the show and also her brother Keys Grant.
