This project is limited to what I can personally commit to doing myself. IÂ am not looking to expand the project this year and I am not seeking financial support.
If you can afford to buy a book, don’t let that stop you from participating! I encourage you to shop additional books at your local independent book store.
If you want to do more, direct giving has the most impact. @PayBlkTrnsWomen is one of my go-to sources to find individuals’ GoFundMe campaigns, and PayPal / Venmo / Cash app handles.
