Viola Davis, Joy Reid and Charlamagne tha God are backers of ALTR, an app with audiobooks by Black luminaries and authors.
Viola Davis, Joy Reid and Charlamagne tha God are among partners backing ALTR, a personal development and learning subscription app slated to launch later in 2024 that will feature short-form audiobooks by Black cultural icons and authors. New York-based ALTR was co-founded by CEO David A. Wilson, creator of Black news site TheGrio (now part of Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios), and CTO Brandon John-Freso, who previously worked as a software engineer at WeWork and OkCupid. Unlike traditional audiobooks, which can take months or years to produce, ALTR is focused on short-form audio to let creators share condensed and timely knowledge “in a snackable format that perfectly aligns with our listeners’ fast-paced consumption habits,” said John-Freso.
