Our Voices Matter

Our Voices Matter is a cultural reparations program for Black storytellers, artists, creatives, community organizers, and activists who are on the frontlines of healing our community. This program funds recipients' book projects 100%. The recipients retain 100% ownership and also 100% profit. Each book serves as a bridge to healing for Black and brown communities and education for the general community while also being a financial vehicle for an author to reinvest in future projects if they choose to.
