TO ALL SISTA ARTISTS & WOMEN IN HIP-HOP

A community book is being put together to recognize the sistas that deserve recognition as the artists they are in art and Hip-Hop. The book will be called “Letters to a Young Woman in Hip-Hop.” We’re asking sistas to write letters to our younger sistas so they come up feeling validated on a real tip.

If you’re considering submitting a piece, you can write about the following topics(these are not final titles to the chapters, just ideas): “My first Hip-Hop Show,” “When I Fell In Love With Hip-Hop,” “On the Mic,” “Sistas Spinnin’ Records,” Beat-boxing,” “On The Dance Floor Without High Heels,” “Love The Word/Words of Wisdom,” “Ladies Armed With Cans.”

We are accepting letters in all formats from phrases to short essays. Please keep all letters less than two pages. We are also accepting art submissions.

Deadline: Jan 15th, 2005

Please do NOT send in original copies of work because we will not be able to return the submission.

Please e-mail work to onion@cara-seattle.org or mail copies of work to:
