'The Senna' is the name of a mobile app that's centered around sharing social content fueled by hip-hop culture. This media platform provides a place for users to discover a range of viral content, podcasts, memes, conversations and stories that are currently of note within the community.
In addition to having a timeline and newsfeed in the style of many other apps, The Senna sets itself apart by having a space for new and established media stars to create original content. Content aside, the simple interface of the app is just part of what makes this platform so appealing to a millennial audience with an interest in hip-hop culture.
Adriant Grant is the self-taught engineer and developer behind The Senna, who notes: "We’re not aiming to be the best video site or social network, we want to create a platform exclusively for this growing and thriving culture."
