I made a request a few months ago sharing my commitment to get EVERY issue of @thesource from 88-99, @egotripland from 94-98, #HoneyMagazine from 99-02 #RapPagesMagazine from 91 - 99 @xxl from 97-99 @vibemagazine from 92-99 and to invite folks to help me make that my reality. Still got a long way to go but I'm hella thankful for the folks supporting me with making this happen. WHICH OF US WILL CARE FOR THE WRITERS? WHICH OF US WILL ENSURE THEIR ROLES AS CULTURE SEERS IS SECURE? - @mooredarnell the answer is I WILL! #WordISBondTheDoc #TheGatesPreserve
