Prevent the Corruption

Prevent the Corruption

Above: The current cover of one of my fave zines, Shotgun Seamstress.

Hey lovlies. Ash here. I know I've been M.I.A. lately but that is going to change. Anywho, I wanted to take some time out to give you guys a message. As you may or may not know, Afropunk is starting to get increased recognition and as this happens, I have seen people express their concern over AP getting mainstream exposure. Many of these concerns are valid and I have some myself. As a result of my concern, I created the Afropunk Media group on the AP site. We shouldn't be expected to assimilate into the mainstream media. We should create our own media.

Blogs. Zines. Radio.Books.Magazines.Newspapers.

We deserve to have our voices heard with compromising ourselves. For this reason, I urge you guys to support your Afropunk Media.

Buy zines.

Follow blogs (including this one ;-])

Hell, create your own shit!

Do something!

I'll get you started.......Click here to go to the Afropunk Media group. Join to get and give support!

Ohai, What's Your Poison? We're Back

Ohai, What's Your Poison? We're Back

So, school's starting up again and we're back on that college grind (at least for me). It's a new year. That means new good times, new crappy times, and a new self. There's so much to look forward to, experience, and write about. I'm glad to say that WYP is gonna be along for that ride.

Oh, you thought we were gone for good? We're just getting started. And when we (finally) kick start the new and improved site, we hope you like it and view it as a haven for you lovelies to converse and share thoughts, opinions, ideas, hair style tips, or what have you. It's gonna be the shit and the urine. Like no one's ever seen. Just show us your support and we'll love you forever. We mean it.

I might be this blog's biggest fan because I fully see the potential of this becoming something pretty awesome.

We're on the constant look-out for talented writers, artists, musicians, free thinkers, lovers, and leaders. We're looking for you.

So, what's your poison?
