Momma’s Hip Hop Kitchen Volume 4, “Let’s Get Active!” will be honoring International Women’s Month by addressing some of the health disparities that affect women of color.

The event is next Thursday, June 10th from 4pm-8pm. There’s more info available at their website here! For the Birds-friend Kristie E. recently donated a few zines to our FTB zine collection (someday when we have a space, it will be a zine library… that’s what we say in our dreams). Among those zines was one called EMPOWER: A Young Mama’s Guide to Taking Control (by Allison Noelle Crews, please look her up, she was a very inspiring woman). This was totally serendipitous since we got asked to table at Young Mothers Resource Night the same day! We’ll have copies of the zine available for free at the event. All the other titles will be regular distro prices. Pass it on!
