Help BWD Grow: 12 Supporters to 50 by June 30
Currently, 12 amazing individuals are supporting BWD at $ 5 per month. I’d love to increase that to 50 before the end of June. That growth would help me:
Bring on an intern (with a small honorarium!) to help maintain the site
Support live events like the Chicago Film Symposium
Keep this archive going strong by paying for web hosting fees and other operational costs associated with maintaining the site.
You can also make a one-time, tax-deductible donation. I’m currently working toward raising $1,000 through Fractured Atlas to unlock grant opportunities for BWD. Thanks to your support, I’m already more than halfway there — $504 raised, $496 to go.
I know the economy is hitting all our pockets heavy right now. But if you’ve been moved by BWD’s newsletter, archive, or screenings, please consider:
🔸 Becoming a paid subscriber ($5/month)

Paid subscribers get bonus posts on film and culture, and access to the full newsletter archive. The next one drops June 18 — a curated list of 10 short films by Black women directors you can stream in time for Juneteenth weekend.
🔸 Making a one-time tax-deductible donation

And if donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this newsletter or a link to the main site is just as powerful. As we can see from the current news, we have to have each other’s backs because, honestly, who else will? Thank you, as always, for your incredible support.
