“You and I, we are embers from the same fire,dust from the same star, echoes of the same love.” 

The Badass Black Women History Month Project - Update

Since I started this project, interest has expanded beyond anything I would’ve imagined. On Facebook, a post about Fannie Lou Hamer received over 3,000 likes and almost 3,000 shares. Chance the Rapper shared the project on Twitter. The Tumblr @staff featured it on their “Black History Month Tumblrs to Follow” post. I was proud of the project and hadn’t really considered expanding beyond social media platforms until the requests for a book became too numerous to ignore. Teachers wanted to share these stories with their students. Mothers wanted to gift these stories to their daughters. So, I started planning and found an illustrator who could help bring these women and their stories to life. While I have received one grant for $1k, this only covers the cost of an illustrator. With additional funds, I hope to create:

2 versions of the Badass Black Women History Month Book for distribution

One version will be edited for schools and children and will not feature profanity.

An illustrated bookmark featuring a 29th Badass Black Woman for Leap Year!

My hope is to provide all who donate with a free copy of the book once it’s published, but first we have to raise the funds!
