BlackShares University

BlackShares University (BSU) was inspired by a combination of the BlackShares ethos to support one another, and the *great* people of HillmanTok, who took up the call to share their knowledge. <br> <br>But, here now is a place where we can organize and learn from each other at-will. No algorithms suppressing us. No hacked pages. Just beautiful, talented Black people—sharing the depths of their greatness with one another. <br> <br>Have something to teach?
