The second edition of Volume One of the Black Matriarch Zine is now available. The First edition sold out and we are happy to be able to continue to distribute Alkebuluan Merriweather’s tribute to the Archive of Black Matriarchs.
“Thank you to everyone that purchased the first round of zines. We raised $638. Donations were made towards 360 Nation, Black Art Library, and three incarcerated individuals whom I work with within the Illinois Deaths in Custody Project.
The next round of zines will be used to continue the archival work of Homagetoblkmadonnas. A donation will be made towards Brave Space Alliance once we officially sell out.
Brave Space Alliance is the first Black-led, trans-led LGBTQ+ Center located on the South Side of Chicago, dedicated to creating and providing affirming, culturally competent, for-us by-us resources, programming, and services for LGBTQ+ individuals on the South and West sides of the city.” ~ Alkebulaun Merriweather
