Hello Creatives, We're 15 days away from meeting our flexible goal on Indiegogo! We're so excited to see Vol. I, No. I come into fruition - this project is one conceived of passion for art and prose with attention to accessibility and inclusivity! This is a homeplace for all-identifying creatives of color can express themselves and edify safely. With that, we would never impose a submission fee onto our readers and submitters, this, to us, is not fair and blocks out creatives that do not have the funds to repeatedly submit to our journal. But in order to get the ball up and running we're asking our followers to consider contributing to our journal through our Indiegogo campaign! This is completely optional and will not affect whether the first volume is completed, but it will help us go the extra mile for our creatives and readers! × There are more ways than one to help! You can also be apart of this project by submitting your prose + art for Vol. I, No. I, or you can spread awareness towards friends, family, and fellow artists and writers of color you may know! The deadline is April 30th! × Clink the link in our bio to learn how to contribute 🌿 🧡 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvM--9Bns9k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pev8ly14kua2
