Without the work, research and labour of these three amazing Black womxn, it would’ve never been possible for me to create this project. If you’ve enjoyed this project so far, please give them money. It’s the only way to help ensure they will continue to do the incredible and necessary work they’re been doing. I especially thank Rebelle Cunt for the patience and willingness to work with me on several aspects of this project.
