Listen up ya’ll ’cause I’ve got a ton of reading, writing, proofing and red pen strike-throughs to complete.  I’ll be acting super busy and preoccupied from henceforth (flippin’ my fro ’til my neck’s sore), even though I could do this work in my dreams and be fulfilled by a calm, resolved rest that just makes me, well, happy!

Seriously speaking, I’m so excited to be available as the new editor and freelance content writer on the block.  Secure me while you can – there is only so much red ink to go ’round!

Review the price list and/or contact me directly for review of your project.  Let’s do this!  There is power in the pen!

Lit. for the Culture! 2019 – That’s right…we’re doing it again!

We had such a blast in February 2018 celebrating Black History month by way of children’s literature and local goods that Warren Publishing together with the EmbraceU series has decided to do it again!

Take a look at last year’s highlights by following the YouTube link: LFTC 2018 and get ready to gear up for this year’s celebration! There will be music, performances, local vendors and live readings!

This event is centered around African-American literature in the young community and we will pay tribute to a very special black author this year.

“Let her be born. Let her be born. And handled warmly.” ~Ntozake Shange

On Saturday, February 23, 2019 meet local authors, have them sign your books, browse and network with home-team community supporters / small business owners, and even garner information on how to initiate the publishing process yourself. This event is free to the public. We are here to foster community and true representation in a fun and open atmosphere.

If you are interested in becoming a vendor for this year’s event please complete and forward this form: to Litfortheculture1773@gmail.com. If you are interested in sponsoring portions of the event please contact Shimah Easter and/or Mindy Kuhn via the same email listed above.

See you there!!!

Femme: Literati Mixtape… A Copper-toned Anthology

So, yeah! With all the unseen words

floating around in clouds

and free spaces

and unwired four walls

Real paper, pages, ink has become somewhat obsolete

and needed a Native Queen to bring them back to life.

And HERstory was made! ‘cause isn’t this how it’s always made?

Look around. It’s happening!

Femme: Literati Mixtape is an anthology due Summer 2019 conceived by Genre: Urban Arts. Anthologies are everything! Literally…everything! Creative Director, Nakeysha Roberts Washington (@nakeysha) together with authors/editors Rico Lowe (@panafrico) and Shimah Easter (@gonbeallwrite_mah) are preparing to present this opportunity to women creatives who are of the African diaspora together with their brown sistren, contemporary, informed and passionate. The anthology will feature a mix of written word, art, photography and fashion. If you are interested in this opportunity or know an artist who would be, please DM/contact any of the editors above or visit the ‘opportunities’ tab at genreurbanarts.com. We are HERstory in the making!
