This Saturday the 11th, there will be a listening party for the release of the SPEAK! Radical Woman of Color Media Collective‘s spoken-word CD.

The It Is Better To SPEAK! listening party will be held Saturday, the 11th, at 7 to 9 pm at In Other Words Women’s Books and Resources, 8 B NE Killingsworth St., Portland, OR, 97211. All are welcome. Bring a friend and spread the word! I’ll see you there.

The CD, a compilation of poetry, prose, story and song, is packed with the work of people you know, including Blackamazon, Brownfemipower, Cripchick, Little Light, Sylvia, and many others including yours truly, la Mala.

As my dear Little Light said:

We made this project with love and held hands and hard work, and we’re proud to present it as a fundraiser to help get some radical mamis of color to the Allied Media Conference and support them in their activism.
At the listening party, you’ll have a chance to come together and hear the album, discuss it, and take it home with you. We’ve put together a whole curriculum, written together, to help facilitate, and both I and Adele Nieves, producer and contributor, will be present to help get things shaking.
