Open Call for Submissions!!!b BUA!
BUA!
The Undying Voice of BANTU.
You know, there a times where we gather in our little social circle. Whether it is with family or friends, and we talk about winds of change and the unsung voices of ABANTU, voices that speak hope for the Africa future. We all have inherited the pain of a very harsh past, and now with the freedom that we have, we can share our ideas and stories of victory or just inspiration and spark more dialogue. This is a platform for you.
So we decided to open a platform where people can showcase their work and share their take on what is an authentic African narrative. We invite everything about Africa.
More than anything, the platform is for us to celebrate our gifts from ABADALA. This is through written work (poetry, articles, book reviews, essays, etc), visual art of any medium, and music and film.
ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY CAN SUBMIT, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT RACE, S*X, OR GENDER YOU ARE. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THAT WE SPREAD LOVE THE AFRICAN WAY.
Open Date : 15 July 2020
Submission Deadline: 31 July 2020
BUA! is the Basotho word meaning SPEAK!
