The 365 BLACK [PROJECT] is a project created by CopyWrite Magazine to celebrate Black History month. However, noting that Black his(her)story is created everyday this project highlights what it means to be a BLACK creative, entrepreneurs or leader 365 days a year.

To start collecting representation of Black history in the making we personally reached out to several of our favorite BLACK locals, asking them to submit short videos telling us what it feels like to be a Black creative, entrepreneur or leader 365 days a year. This collection of videos will be housed in a gallery on copywritemag.com for the rest of the year, paying homage to the contributions to our culture 365 days a year.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Want to join the collection?

Submit videos to copywrite.mke@gmail.com Attn: 365 Black Project. 

Videos should be  30 to 60 seconds telling us what it feels like to be a Black creative, entrepreneurs or leader 365 days a year. Your video can be you talking or you showing us by using your craft [i.e. dancing, singing, rapping, painting, djing, styling, prepping for service etc.]. You can film it with a phone, computer, tiktok, zoom, you know how ever you capture thing's these days. [MP4 files preferred]

*Info from Ex Fabula

We could’ve never imagined what 2020 had in store for us. Despite the challenges, we’re committed to connecting Milwaukee through real stories. Meet us on January 20th at 7pm for our first StorySlam of 2021, where we invite tellers to share stories on the theme ‘Milwaukee’.

 

In the second half of season 12, we’re using themes like: ‘Milwaukee’, ’Self’, and ‘Winning’ to prompt some of the season’s greatest stories yet! We’re kicking it all off by Reimagining the city we call home. ‘ReImagining Milwaukee’ will inspire stories about community, home, leadership, resilience, special spots, ugly truths and more! This competitive slam is virtual; Zoom entry starts at 6:30pm and stories begin at 7pm on January 20th.  

Our Brave Space affinity workshops are back by popular demand. These focused workshops are open to BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) from all across the city at no cost to attendees; dates listed on www.exfabula.org/tickets/. Can’t get enough of local stories? Tune in to 104.1 fm or stream from riverwestradio.com every Sunday from 3:30pm-4pm as co-hosts Michaela Lacy and Nicole Acosta revisit stories from past slams and events.

COVID-19 continues to affect many homes financially. Our ‘Pay it forward tickets’ will keep our events & workshops accessible. How it works: Purchase a ticket to any of our slams or workshops and purchase one for someone else to enjoy! Community members can request these free tickets, which are supported by contributions from members and donors. More information available on our website, http://www.exfabula.org/.

Our programming is more accessible than ever since going virtual. We’ve designed highly interactive and virtual workshops created just for businesses, schools, and community groups. Want to collaborate? Let’s chat! Or visit exfabula.org/host

Start the new year off right by experiencing the collective power of storytelling. Visit our website at exfabula.org/tickets to learn more about our upcoming programming.

Ex Fabula is a nonprofit that has been connecting Milwaukee through real stories since 2009.
