Celebrate Black Beauty: Fund Issue 6 Today

Support Spoken Black Girl: Issue 6 – "BEAUTY" – A Revolution in Words & Art

Dear Community,

For Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive people, beauty is more than appearance—it’s survival, resistance, and rebirth. Spoken Black Girl is back with Issue 6: BEAUTY, a powerful exploration of mental health, wellness, and the radical act of defining beauty on our own terms.

But we need your help to bring this vision to life.

Why This Issue Matters

Society has long dictated what beauty "should" look like—especially for Black women and femmes. But we know the truth: **Beauty is the way we heal. The way we grow. The way we reclaim ourselves.**

This issue will feature raw, transformative poetry, essays, stories, and art that ask:

- How has mental health shaped your relationship with beauty?

- What rituals help you embrace self-love in a world that denies it to you?

- How do you define beauty beyond oppression?

Your contributions will create a **sacred space for Black voices to be seen, heard, and celebrated**—exactly as they are.
