“Magically as hard as a result is, the journey is full of rewards. Today actual change will only be made by those who want to do the work” says Black Talent Initiative Founder, Mark Harrison. “We live in a time when social posts and likes are not enough. We put our fists in the air and ask that you join us in calling “Black Lives Matter” with us through your art, your words, or your time,” says Saffa. We see the disparities of a pre-meditated system and how it continuously works against underprivileged groups. “Racialized people are fighting for equality, equity, and liberation while privileged groups are building equity in our society. “Despite all the uncertainty in the world right now and racial injustice being intertwined and on full display, it is important to celebrate Black culture and paint a picture of how it will positively influence society in the future”, says C-Tribe Founder and Chairperson Sahr Saffa. As an organization that has been influenced at every level by various African and Indigenous tribes and nations, the organization will not remain silent during these challenging times.

Completely insane.The C-Afrofuturism Festival & Conference re-imagines the vision of the future through the lens of the African diasporaĮdmonton, Canada, July 20th, 2022 – Creativity and Black culture will be on full display at this year’s C-Afrofuturism Festival & Conference: an event that is part of the C-Tribe Festival and aims to open the hearts, eyes, and minds of a global community by building forward-thinking and creative experiences led by racialized people. "But by the end of the day - last Sunday, eight days ago - I was running a Delaware corporation valued at $10 million with $100,000 in pre-seed funding, which is insane. I've been running a business based on consulting and based on academic R&D services," he continues. Instead the tweet "just completely exploded" and he found himself raising $100,000 "in a single day" - with $50,000 paid in there and then. "I posted that tweet and the expectation that I had was that basically 60 people max would retweet it and then maybe I'll set up a Kickstarter," he tells us. But Kobeissi says he was startled by the level of interest in the concept. For now there's nothing to see beyond Capsule's landing page and a pitch deck (which he shared with TechCrunch for review). The nascent startup has a post-money valuation on paper of $10 million, according to Kobeissi, who is working on the prototype - hoping to launch an MVP of Capsule in March (as a web app), after which he intends to raise a seed round (targeting $1 million-$1.5 million) to build out a team and start developing mobile apps. A day later cryptography researcher, Nadim Kobeissi - best known for authoring the open-source E2E-encrypted desktop chat app Cryptocat (now discontinued) - had pulled in a pre-seed investment of $100,000 for his lightweight mesh-networked microservices concept, with support coming from angel investor and former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, William J. An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: The idea for Capsule started with a tweet about reinventing social media.
