Submit to Sistah Sistah’s African Feminist Anthology

Sistah Sistah Foundation is excited to announce a new project: an African feminist anthology meant to celebrate and highlight African women through storytelling. It is aimed at telling African stories through African voices, especially womxn and minority groups. We aim to create a new foundation tool that helps young African Feminists advocate for causes they believe in through stories, and to help young writers launch their work as a platform for their voices.

Selected writers will be provided with an honorarium of $100 and will still own the rights to their work.

All proceeds from the anthology will fund a training program for women living in safe houses who lack financial independence. The goal is to equip them with skills, jobs, and financial capital to build their lives and attain liberation.

Anthology theme: African Women’s Tales.

Submission genre: fiction.
