Krys “bLaKtivist” Freeman is a Masculine of Center writer, viral media strategist and activist, as well as founder of “The Definition,” an online community and blog dedicated to promoting visible community for masculine of center women, transmen and allies. A child of the digital age, s/he likes to be thought of as a web 2.0 evangelist. In June 2011, Krys began working on her first startup, BettaSTOP, which is an SMS application that offers commuters the ability to give immediate feedback on their transit experience, whether they own a smart phone or not. “I want everyday revolution,” says Krys. “And I want revolution every day. Some days that looks like creating space. Some days, it’s creating conversations. Some days, it looks like creating an app that ensures that low-income citizens, people of color… everyone can have safe transportation.”
