– video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner. OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.This holiday season, BlackTreeTV is giving our audience the gift of back-to-back Jamaa Fanaka classics! Following Penitentiary, we proudly present Emma Mae (1976), a powerful, character-driven film that showcases Fanaka’s exceptional storytelling and independent filmmaking prowess. Emma Mae tells the story of a shy, sweet-natured girl from Mississippi who moves to Los Angeles after the death of her mother. Initially naïve to the complexities of urban life, Emma Mae (played by Jerri Hayes) transforms as she navigates a world filled with challenges, including racism, systemic injustice, and the realities of inner-city life. When her boyfriend Jesse is imprisoned, Emma Mae’s fierce loyalty drives her to take extraordinary steps to support him, showcasing her evolution into a strong, determined woman. Directed by Jamaa Fanaka, Emma Mae is much more than a traditional blaxploitation film—it’s a deeply human story that captures the struggles and resilience of Black women. Fanaka’s attention to character detail and social issues solidifies this film as a gem in Black cinema. Join us as we celebrate the legacy of Jamaa Fanaka, a trailblazing director who brought authentic Black stories to the screen with passion and integrity.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for BlackTree TV uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
