Imagine a curated App dedicated to sharing music and podcasts SPECIFICALLY from and for BIPOC and QTPOC … Well, Anna DeShawn has imagined it, then she hustled for it, raised the money for it and it’s now a REAL LIVE THING - Like a effing Super Hero Magician Anna and her team have released The QUBE because they are determined to ride media into its next era by utilizing digital media streams to tell the stories and play the music that deserves to be heard.
We talk a lot about crowdfunding and raising the money necessary to lift these voices up. If you’re looking to build something - you don’t want to miss this.
Tune in to hear Anna’s story, when apps like The CUBE are so important, and get all the inside scoop.
