We're FUNDED!!!

We are 100% funded! Truths We Tell: Stories From The Yarn Stage will be going to print and will be widely available in fall 2021.

We are so inspired by the generous support and reception for this book that we want to host something special. If we raise $2k more, for a total of $9k, we will host an outdoor book launch party, featuring live readings from the storytellers featured in the book.   

We are absolutely ELATED and so thankful to each of you who have shared your belief in the power of storytelling! With less than 48 hours to go, we look forward to pushing with you to reach this stretch goal.

STAY TUNED!

We Did It! Kickstarter Funded 129%

WE DID IT, together!

175 Kickstarter backers supported From Cotton to Silk: The Magic of Black Hair by Crystal C. Mercer and we finished in 30 days 129% funded with $9,528 pledged. We are SO grateful to everyone who helped us climb to the top.

Although we didn’t reach our full stretch goal, we got close enough that you can expect to see HAIR. SEEN. Heard. Conversations About Our Crowns cards.

THANK YOU! This outpouring of support has helped us dream big, and we are just getting started.

Happy Giving Tuesday! We're 66% Funded and We Need Your Help!

It's giving Tuesday! We love supporting Central Arkansas Library System, Celebrate Maya Project, The C.D. Wright Women Writers Conference, Women's Foundation of Arkansas, and other organizations promoting literacy for all and strengthening women (especially in their creativity).

Crystal C. Mercer's Kickstarter for her book From Cotton to Silk: The Magic of Black Hair is an incredible way to support a Black woman artisan in her craft--an entirely hand-stitched children's book representing 467 hours of sewing love. With 80 believers, it's 66% funded! But it's all or nothing and your support means everything. There are loads of handmade rewards at all levels to thank you for backing this project that is unique in all the world. Hope you'll spend a few minutes with "Auntie CC," to see a couple of book pages and learn more!

And whomever you choose to give to today, may you be awash in joy and appreciation for your gifts!
