Great app needing more contributors

I’ve held on to this app for awhile. It’s gotten so much better over the years but I’ve noticed content can go stagnant. How can we help to find more contributors or get more content produced?

Volume 5

I paid for 4 volume 5.Where are they??????
GGrandma10+1

Good content. Needs some polishing.

I love what they are about and are doing! Education, healthy debate within the community, and inspiring our future by learning from our true past.
The 4 instead of 5 is simply because of the app functionality is still a bit clunky... but that comes with time to develop!
KEEP IT UP!! And thank you for what you’re doing ❤️✊🏽

IM HERE FOR ANYTHING FURTHERING EDUCATION AND UNITY IN MY COMMUNITY!

So you can tell that this app is obviously new, it could use some upgrades but I'm so happy to know that the page I love from Facebook now has their own app! And it's for the betterment of black people! I'm still a supporter, Facebook or app.
