About Jivve
Jivve is more than just another social platform – it's a digital home created specifically for and by the Black community. We're building a place where authentic connections flourish, where our culture is celebrated, and where everyone can share their story without compromise.
A Message from Our Founder
Kenn Daniel
Founder & CEO, BLKQ LLC
"I created Jivve because I was tired of seeing our voices silenced and our communities ignored by big tech companies that simply don't care about us."
For too long, we've had to navigate social platforms that weren't built with us in mind. These massive tech corporations profit from our engagement while simultaneously suppressing our voices, shadowbanning our content, and failing to protect us from harassment and discrimination.
No more. Jivve represents a fundamental shift – a platform where Black voices aren't just heard, they're amplified. Where our culture isn't appropriated, it's celebrated. Where our safety isn't an afterthought, it's the foundation.
I wanted to give our community what these big tech companies refuse to provide: a space where we can feel safe, be authentic, and connect without fear of censorship or algorithmic bias. A place where our stories matter, our experiences are valued, and our joy can flourish freely.
Jivve isn't just an app – it's a movement. It's our declaration that we deserve better, and we're building it ourselves.
Our Story
Jivve was born from a simple but powerful realization: existing social platforms weren't built with our community in mind. We saw the need for a space where Black voices, experiences, and connections could thrive without the need to code-switch or explain our culture.
Starting in 2024, our team began working on creating a platform that puts community first, with features designed around how we actually connect, share, and support each other.
Our Mission
To create the premier social platform for the Black community – a space where authentic connections, cultural celebration, and meaningful social interactions are at the heart of every feature and experience.
