A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST:

ADDRESSING RACIAL JUSTICE

​

I am honored and humbled by the success of the Badass Women Project--

and I am ecstatic that so many people are excited to buy a calendar featuring

mostly women of color.

 

As an artist and businesswoman who identifies as white, and as someone who is committed to doing the work of challenging racism, I want to acknowledge my privilege, and engage in a conversation about how I can address racial justice through my small business.

​

Because the project has been such a success, one of my first goals is to give a significant financial donation from the proceeds to an organization that is working to dismantle racism and supports women of color in the United States.

​

I'm pleased to announce that next year, a portion of proceeds from the project supports The Black Feminist Project,

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

an organization that enriches the lives of, restores agency, justice, joy, and health

to Black women, girls, and non-men, often referred to as marginalized genders or MaGes

and the children they care for - with an emphasis on mother-led families.

Please check out their website to find out more!

​​​

I'm also working on providing resources here on my website to further dialogue and action to advocate for racial and gender equality. Thanks so much for your support.

​

Sincerely,

Joey Hartmann-Dow
