So the #FeministDeck kickstarter is fully funded, but it’s looking a bit…pale so to speak. The lovely KivaBay is seeking more WoC to highlight and note with having them in the deck.

There’s no secret to being included, nor should anyone think they aren’t feminist enough or not important enough to be a part of the deck. So if you are interested, or want to nominate someone please drop Kiva a note at:

feministdeck@gmail.com and include your information or the best way to contact the person you are nominating for inclusion in the deck.

Note: Kiva is aware that not everyone is on board with this project or interested or what have you. But she is also aware of the lack of WOC in the list of folks participating. So this is an attempt to recognize more WOC for their work.
