BLEXT
(APP DESIGN)

How to create more diversity in different work sectors?

Blext is an application where Black students can discover Black role models and connect with them as mentors.

This way, they gain a better understanding of their studies and the opportunities available after school.

The app features a podcast that keeps them up to date with the latest news about upcoming events

and role models. Additionally, it includes a platform where role models give talks to motivate and inspire the next generation.

The app has been inspired by elements that are significant in the Black community.

For example, the texture of the durag is used in the app’s design, along with Afro pictograms and other cultural symbols.

Besides that, I chose colors that perfectly match the message behind the app.
You’ll see a lot of black and red. Black is often associated with darkness and negativity,

but in this context, I use it to highlight the positive side of the color—showing that Black can also symbolize strength and pride.

Red represents power and passion. When combined with black, it creates a powerful statement: BLACK POWER.

The application is currently in the design and concept phase, but I believe and see BLEXT as more than just an app.

In a few years, I envision BLEXT becoming one of the biggest Black movements—alongside the Black Power and Black Panther Party movements.
