You’ll want this… Announcing the release of the SPEAK! album!

I had the honor of joining radical women of color (many of who are your favorite bloggers, BrownFemiPower, Black Amazon, Little Light, Mamita Mala, Sudy, Nadia, and sooo many more) in putting together an amazing album that chronicles experiences around struggle, love, motherhood, redemption, healing and community. You can cop the CD in January, along with a zine and listening party curriculum, so be prepared! More details to come soon but stay on this— there are only 200 copies currently available. This is an effort towards sustainability and self-funding and all proceeds from this album will go to supporting mamis wanting to attend the Allied Media Conference next summer. Album will be offered on a sliding scale.

    I definitely want one. The listening party sounds like something I can stage at the bookshop/community center where I volunteer. When there’s more information I’ll pass it on to more people there–if we can get multiple copies of the CD and zine we’ll probably want to stock it in the store.

    whoa–I wrote that comment even before I watched the clip. Durham, NC?? I’m in Chapel Hill! So maybe you know the bookstore/center I’m talking about–Internationalist Books, on Franklin Street.

    from nosnowhere:

    "needs-based listening”–listen to what people say as if it will change ur life. As if u need to hear it and know it as bad as they need to say it. The person who has difficulty expressing their ideas is the one who should be centered and listened to, support. The one who can say it in a glossy way that makes everyone feel good does not need to be heard as bad. if someone is communicating in a way that makes u uncomfortable, pay better attention, think about it, talk about it." -nadia
