You should go for long tail market and have asians, whites and more in there. Way too niche at the moment.
This. Is. Amazing! Im a start-up Founder and always struggle to find High Quality, relatable and usable stock photography of black and brown people! Thanks for this.

Africa start ups needs this product. We constantly face branding challenges when working on local products. So thanks.

Pros:

Providing solution to a real problem. There are seriously low free stock photos of black People on the internet today.

Cons:

Wrong name for

I think it should be marketed as a way to get cultural photos of People of Color.

I think that would help with the marketing and overall intentions of the product.

Pros:

It shows photos that can be hard to find elsewhere

Cons:

Please change the name. "Nappy" has a negative connotation to it.

Interested to see how this grows and the community develops.

Pros:

Quickly find images from and for black/brown communities

Cons:

Narrow set of initial categories, understandably so.

I love this.
