We have looked beyond safety and addressed issues related to the quality of life for BIPOC ... On our maps, are a combination of a virtual "green book", consumer reports, YELP, and "Glassdoor" providing BIPOC critical information that will help us live our BEST life as a BIPOC. We have listings of black-owned businesses. We have user-generated reviews of businesses and service providers that include retailers, hospitals, hotels, and schools. We also provide information from employees on working conditions within corporations and institutions. This is critical information that will help users spend their "black" dollars with knowledge and insight. For our allies, Blaq App provides racial de-escalation training and opportunities to work together to create safer communities and respectful consumer experiences with retailers, the hospitality industry, educational institutions, and the medical industry. BIPOC will know where they can be treated respectfully, ethically, and with integrity.
