Hi . . . I'm Jhamar

My name is Jhamar Youngblood. I am the founder and Community Assistant of TBA, an invite-only/tokengated community that uses Web3 technologies to build digital and IRL experiences for people who identify as compassionate, authentic, and ambitious.

Here is my journey into web3 . . .

In 1998 my mother was one of the first people in our project building to own a personal computer. I was 10 years old and I didn’t know what to do with it, so I spent most of my time in AOL Chat Rooms communicating with people of all cultures and backgrounds. I then spent the next 15 years being the first person in all of my friend groups and family to join every new social online application; from Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more.

In 2013 while in graduate school at Dartmouth College, I started working on a new communication experience I named Blastchat. The goal of Blastchat was to be the solution that solves the four main problems web 2.0’s social communities face; clutter, trolls, incentives, and algorithms.

In 2018 I partnered with the Kik messaging app and their cryptocurrency $KIN to become the first app in Apple’s App Store to allow people to earn and spend cryptocurrency. Users were earning $KIN in Blastchat and using the earned $KIN to purchase Uber and Airbnb gift cards. Unfortunately, I withdrew Blastchat from the KIN program because most of the KIN community were libertarians and my existing community started calling my app “The Trump App”.

In 2021 I got together with three other women friends and launched TBA DAO. I then rebranded my app as TBA, the official communication app for members of TBA DAO. After sharing my experiences from working with $KIN with the core TBA team, we decided that our organization will be invite-only and tokengated.

In 2022 our goal is to launch our own social token and we would love your help.

What is TBA DAO?

Founded in 2021, TBA DAO is an invite-only digital organization that uses Web3 technologies to build digital and IRL experiences for people who identify as compassionate, authentic, and ambitious. We are taking a gradual path towards decentralization.

What is our mission?

Unite compassionate, authentic, and ambitious people, inspire them and provide the resources needed to build their communities.

What is our tagline/slogan?

If we can do it, so can you!

What is our long-term goal?

We want to onboard 100+ million people to Web3.

What is the gender breakdown of our core team?

3 women (Lexy, Nyla, Irene)
1 man (Me)

We want to work with as many women as we possibly can.

What is the member breakdown of our community?

4 Core Members
3 Contributors (and counting)
25 Community Members (and counting)

Where are our members located?

America, Africa, India

What is the problem we are trying to solve?

We noticed the lack of compassion, authenticity, and ambition in our society. Our solution is to unite compassionate, authentic, and ambitious people, inspire them and provide the resources needed to build their own communities. We will do this by creating online and offline experiences where our members can come together, share ideas, and exist as their true selves.

Our initial target community is musicians who are looking to use Web3 technology to share their music and build their communities.

What progress have we made since launch?

Grew our community from 4 to 25+ members
Hosted 9 physical events that were attended by 200+ unique people
Launched our Freedom Flower NFT Collection

When and why are we launching our social token?

In September of 2022, we launch our social token to kickstart our economy for the overall TBA community. This will allow our members to earn our social token to purchase our Freedom Flower NFTs and Freedom Flower Clothing. It will also allow us to incentivize our core members and contributors. Our long-term goal is to create an economy that will allow our community to offer goods and services to each other in exchange for our social token. It will be like our own Craigslist.

How can you help us?

As we plan to launch our token we will need advisors as added support to help us ensure that we are not wasting any time, resources, and energy. If you have any interest in community building, tokenomics, fundraising, smart contracts, or culture, please let us know.

How will you be rewarded?

You will be rewarded with an Advisor Freedom Flower NFT. These NFTs are a limited collection that will only be rewarded to advisors of TBA.
