Special recognition is due to Adjia Mbaye, our inaugural intern, who recently obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity from the University of Cincinnati @uofcincy . Adjia became a part of our team a year ago, entering without prior IT experience. Nonetheless, her persistent dedication and fervor for learning, combined with the mentorship from our organization’s experts, empowered her to develop a plethora of skills. This newfound assurance motivated Adjia to explore diverse paths within the realm of Cybersecurity.
On behalf of the entire @blk4tech Team, we wholeheartedly congratulate her on this remarkable and truly deserved accomplishment!.

Despite Khaby Lame Dethroning Charli D'Amelio As TikTok's Most-Followed User, He's Still Not The Top-Paid TikToker

Khaby Lame has come a long way from his “modest” beginnings.

As the most-followed user on TikTok, Lame — a native of Senegal who currently calls Italy home — has been tapped by Mark Zuckerberg to promote Meta, secured a multi-year deal with Hugo Boss, and even got paid to promote the world’s first-ever nitrogen-infused soda.

Yet, despite all of these accomplishments, Khaby Lame isn’t the highest-paid TikToker.

D’Amelio makes more than $105,000 per TikTok post, while Lame only makes about $90,000 per post.

While we certainly need to celebrate wins like Lame’s, we also need to remain vigilant about the wage gap between Black and white influencers, especially on such a popular app as TikTok.
