weigh more heavily on incoming college freshmen than who they ll be rooming with eyeing their own college pathways the team behind roommate matching app lumi lumi set out to lessen the burden by giving freshmen a chance to match with like minds before landing on campus meanwhile the crew behind beat streets wanted to whittle away at a problem that has long vexed city dwellers everywhere

a local organization and apple partner that offers employment and paid internship opportunities to young people across the city eccc aims to make app development more attractive by challenging students from different parts of the city to solve problems relevant to their own lives with code and to turn that code into app store ready apps through seasonal accelerators the teams built their apps while managing the pressures of classes part time jobs and college applications with the added challenge of collaborating remotely during the pandemic completing that challenge they said yielded new insights into entrepreneurship and a stronger sense of purpose lumi lumi the lumi lumi team comprises four young women of color team members amirah ibrahim and kelsi sumter said they are proud to

camp adam taylor black app read more black app adam taylor helping black and brown folks build things that will help other black and brown folks prosper that s entrepreneur camp adam taylor was tired he was tired of being met with stories of police brutality against black people in the news he was tired of feeling a gnawing personal obligation to read these stories and he was tired of feeling exhausted after he did during the 2016 presidential election cycle he began dreaming up an app that would give black and brown people a way to discover news that affects them and has been curated through a more considered lens that app eventually became black there has to be a platform that allows us to see the good too because if you take a look at the data there s a lot of good out there said taylor we don t have to use black bodies for profit and for clicks just because that s what other companies out there are doing he set out to turn that mission statement into an app but his first go at it didn t land quite where he wanted he said he felt stuck until he got a notification about the inaugural entrepreneur camp for black founders and developers on his iphone with some encouragement from a friend he applied and was accepted he said guidance from apple developers helped him clear out some of his app s bugs and begin to fully grasp the power of what he was creating and who he was becoming the reality is my app might not ever have come out if it wasn t because of e camp i needed that exposure to other black entrepreneurs and i needed the confidence boost and the friendships i built through e camp to help me get this through since finishing the camp taylor has continued to rely on relationships he built with others in the program for support and inspiration he said he s working on an update to black that will filter in only positive news stories black get the app we re just touching the tip of the iceberg tunebend could be an industry disruptor if it s done right matt garrison tunebend app read more tunebend app matt garrison we re just touching the tip of the iceberg tunebend could be an industry disruptor if it s done right tunebend developer and musician matt garrison has spent his career chiseling away at ways to empower musicians to create collaborate and be justly compensated for their work that drive led him and childhood friend fortuna sung to open shapeshifter lab a performance space in brooklyn that has nurtured new york s arts scene for 10 years and to take that mission of empowering musicians even further garrison began developing his forthcoming app tunebend tunebend will enable artists to collaborate remotely mixing in their own recorded contributions to create a kind of virtual ensemble performance as an indie record label owner garrison is particular about musicians keeping ownership of their work he intends to build permissions systems into tunebend that will enable artists to retain control over their contributions he also plans to implement tools that can help them monetize their work garrison refined the app as part of apple s inaugural entrepreneur camp for black founders and developers he said the entrepreneur camp experience felt like a genuine effort at equity giving him and other campers unprecedented access to people and tools that could help them grow the global pandemic has made tunebend even more essential he said because revenues have dried up he and sung expect to shutter shapeshifter later this year leaving artists with one less physical space where they can collaborate the pandemic really showed how vulnerable musicians and the artists creating the cultural patrimony of this country are they can t be left in a condition where they have nothing after everybody sells all their stuff said garrison he s hopeful tunebend will help artists collaborate and earn money in a post pandemic world where so many performance spaces particularly the few like his that are operated by people of color are gone learn more about tunebend i think humanities can inform and maybe cultivate a better understanding of tech dr learotha williams tennessee state university read more tennessee state university dr learotha williams marc aupont i think humanities can inform and maybe cultivate a better understanding of tech to tennessee state university alums dr learotha williams is something of a local legend for years he s investigated the school s and the nashville community s contributions to the civil rights movement from oral histories passed down over barbershop chatter to transformative moments of social change etched into the city s legacy williams is working to preserve it all under the umbrella of the north nashville heritage project but by his own admission he needs new ways to broaden his research s reach and keep black nashville s history rooted in the present when apple brought a new coding initiative to tsu he began envisioning an app that would allow users to hear recorded narratives about the city as they tour important historical sites sort of like a high tech walking tour companion apple and this app can help me do what i do better williams said and maybe even spark the interest of someone to pick up what i m doing and run a little bit farther and make it better williams who recently published a book on nashville s historical sites is collaborating with new york city based developer marc aupont and a team of students from hbcus across the country to begin developing the app aupont a self taught programmer and child of haitian immigrants sees technology and this project as a means to break down societal barriers that keep too many talented black minds from getting their day in the sun marc aupont sometimes in the process of living and working and doing what you need to do you can t really be free to do the things that your heart wants to do aupont said adding that learning to code freed him to focus more on what he cared about and less on what would feed him the bigger picture for me is being able to give students a skill set that allows them to just empower themselves and then go into their community and empower others learn more about the north nashville heritage project for entities like apple to embrace us that s how we dismantle systemic racism dr colette pierce burnette huston

colette pierce burnette president of huston tillotson university austin s crown jewel is beginning to shine even brighter established in 1875 ht is the oldest institution of higher learning in the city and its only historically black university the school has produced leaders who have gone on to create positive impact across austin and the country and with the creation of two new programs ht is poised to create even bigger waves of change only 2 percent of the country s teachers are black men and research shows that when black students are taught by a black teacher they re significantly more likely to graduate from high school and consider attending college ht s african american male teacher initiative encourages students at the university to earn a degree in education with apple providing scholarships as well as hardware software and professional development courses for students and faculty sophomore xavier linton a member of the initiative s inaugural cohort says he was inspired to enroll after reflecting on his experience with a black high school band director xavier linton i saw someone who looked like me doing what i envision myself doing linton says i felt like this program was perfect i want students to know you can do anything you put your mind to it might sound cliché but it s real burnette says her goal is to see 100 black men matriculate through the program it s like the water that rolls over the jagged rock if you roll so much water over it it starts to smooth out the jagged part for me is the injustices says burnette it s like a ripple effect where it eventually becomes exponential and while linton s time at ht is ramping up senior nakyshia fralin is already taking what she s learned in the classroom out into the world fralin is a senior in the school s environmental studies program which is being reworked into an environmental justice program with support from apple since starting at ht fralin has collaborated with city officials and nonprofits to promote equity and climate responsibility around austin she said she got interested in environmental justice after discovering predominantly white neighborhoods back home in kansas had better access to healthier safer foods i started learning this was a targeted effort to not give black people healthy food options fralin says while at ht fralin won a grant to build a community garden on the school s campus that she hopes will show others they can grow their own healthy food no matter where they live like most seniors she isn t entirely sure where she ll land when she graduates she s strongly considering continuing her environmental advocacy by working for austin s government school officials are confident she ll continue to do great things no matter what learn

notice an unevenness in the ratings with black content receiving low or inflated scores otugo along with howard university classmates ashley mckoy and harold lomotey attributed the phenomenon to the content being assessed by a general viewership in greater numbers than black audiences their solution is peek an app designed to surface movie and tv show recommendations from trusted family and friends first they began developing the app during a hackathon parlayed it into their senior project and now continue refining it after participating in apple s inaugural entrepreneur camp for black founders and developers ositanachi otugo if you re someone who loves black entertainment and black art peek is pretty much like a microscope into black creators said otugo and it s not just for the most well known creators mckoy said the team wants to elevate upcoming black filmmakers and showrunners as well eliminating barriers to awareness and access by placing less celebrated works right next to work from more established creators peek s scope could be so much bigger said mckoy it s not just for your well known black films and tv shows it s for your friend s film too since graduating from
