Have you heard of Blaqspot.com? It’s a black-owned social media website, and it’s currently down. Why is this important? Why should you care? I’ll explain why.

The XyayX Institute
Greetings Everyone, In a previous post, I addressed the percentage of African American youth that are being homeschooled. With the biased curriculum in our Public School System, it only makes sense that more parents take matters into their own hands and educate our children.
