This digital news network keeps me informed of issues impacting Black people. I am helped by your panel and guess in their views on politics and the economy.

The app is great. However. I ordered a shirt and still haven't received it. I was supposed to receive it from March 7 to March 11th. It's now April. When will I get my shirt I ordered.

★☆☆☆☆ Sandra Snowden · Jun 10, 2025

The most effective and best Black news source in the USA. Roland is extremely intelligent and well versed about everything he has on his show. He is passionate and dedicated. To dictating Black people. The Black Star Network demonstrates and proves the validity of. African American professionals that are knowledgeable about their areas of expertise. It is a daily pleasure to see our Black folks rightly dividing the word of truth. I will continue to support the Black Star Network

Episodes Show "Upcoming" for weeks at a time 😉 How am I supposed to listen to the content? Let alone make a donation for content that might be 3 - 4 weeks old 🙄
