Zoe Blaq CEO of IStoryTells

Greetings,
I am floating, flying, sailing into darkness, uncertainty and faith. It's been an interesting year so far. I feel myself evolving while unraveling. With the death of my grandmother and my beloved friend just a few months apart, I feel the ancestors tugging at me like never before.
My production company is providing a service in order to fund our film production about the African Diaspora called DiSpell. I would like to thank all of you who have donated at our fundraisers. We continue to stay passionate about traveling along the Caribbean coast and archiving stories. The goal is to fly to Afro Caribbean Costa Rica and travel by land back to the United States maintaining and documenting stories of our ancestors. We are the historians that must keep our own stories alive. It is important to instill strength, courage and holistic health practices in our POC communities. I am a holistic health advocate and I want to remind you of who you are. As storytellers and multimedia creatives we have created a comic web publishing service called istorytells.com
We will turn your poem, art -activisim, short story or sketch into an interactive web comic book or zine. This is a way to have fun collaborating with others while raising funds for our safe production travels. My very first  interactive online comic will be out soon thanks to my business partner Skryb Anu of Earth Realm Comics.

A poem dedication:

"Rest in Power Madea"
I thank you for the fire in my words
the creole twist in my warrior spirit
and the memories we shared on a stormy
Louisiana night sharing our love for
poetry.

The theme is, Celebrating the Diversity of the Human Body. I was honored to be the first person (ever) to film this event, as it all magically unfolds. I made a documentary about this unbelievable experience. I am in post production. I would love to screen it soon.
