Dear Friends,


I am reaching out to you as one of our biggest supporters to share some exciting news. My team and I have been working on a new project for the last few months that will help us bring the SPYS' vision and mission to new audiences. Now, we need your help to get the word out. 

We just launched the Rewriting the Rules podcast TODAY, hosted by me, Dr. Tracine Asberry!!! The podcast is available across all major podcasting platforms and our very first episode features Chaun Webster, a dear friend and Minneapolis native who is also a Graphic Designer, Publisher, and Poet. Titled ‘All About Love’ this episode features an intimate conversation about what Black love has meant to us and how it informs our work. Please listen to it by clicking the image below.

With Rewriting the Rules, we are dedicating ourselves to telling stories and sharing insights, tools and practices that are unapologetically rooted in the power and genius that has been fundamental to Black communities, Indigenous Communities, and Communities of color throughout our existence. It is our own special celebration of Black History Month.

Take these 5 EASY STEPS to help us Rewrite the Rules:
