I've partnered with an amazing media maker and radical educator: SuperHussy to help her find, edit, and publish an anthology focusing on women of Color, sex and sexuality! Here's the Call for Submissions:
Alright ya’ll, it’s time to expand the reach of Super Hussy Media. You know there;s the blog, and the film projects in the works, but wait, here it comes…our first call for submissions for our annual publication, The Compendium.
Our first issue, The Talk, focuses on self-identified women of Color and how they learned about S-E-X. Here are the details:
The Talk: Women of Color On Sex is an exploration of how self-identified women across the Diaspora came to learn about sex and what it meant to have a sexual relationship. Did your mom, aunty or tia sit you down? Were your homegirls or hermanas responsible for giving you the blow by blow? Was Cinemax After Dark, Youtube or a telenovela your sex ed instructor?
Super Hussy Media seeks fresh and daring writers who can coax the reader into an intimate understanding of not only how they learned about sex, but how that knowledge impacted their sexual exploration. We want submissions that are funny, sad, enraging, and transformational.
The Talk is ultimately about our testimonies regarding how we were taught or chose to learn about our sexuality. How we are continuing to learn, lessons we wish we could share with other women of Color, introspective activities of reflection. This is all about us.
Submission Requirements
• Deadline: July 1, 2010
• No more than 2 previously unpublished short stories per submission
• Simultaneous submissions okay, but notify if your work is accepted elsewhere
• 4,000 words or less
• Double spaced

We look forward to reading your submissions.

Bisexuality; Sex & Disability
Found these two items today and wanted to share them!
Bisexuality and Self-Empowerment through a Latina Lens interviews Argentine filmmaker Florencia Manovil on her film "Fiona's Script." Below are some film clips
If you are interested in an online training/course on sexuality, disability and rights, About.com Sexuality Guide, Cory Silverberg has provided information on the upcoming CREA training that lasts 9 weeks and is only $50 (but also offers waivers for people and organizations that request them). I'm signing up!

Latino Sexuality: Links
There's so much that has gone down this week that I was super busy!
I've thought a lot, and am still thinking about Caster Semenya. Today I read and tweeted that she is on suicide watch. I am sending all the positive energy I can to her and her family. Young people need to know they are important and they matter. I hope the people surrounding Caster help her feel this way.
I've also been introduced to the blog Bully Bloggers which features: Lisa Duggan, J. Jack Halberstam, Jose Esteban Munoz and Tavia Nyong'o. Here's what they say their collective blog is about:
This one is going on the blog roll!
I also came across this video about people with disabilities and sex (as in the act). The film is called (Sex)abled: Disability Uncensored and you can view it in full here.
Another friend sent a link on twitter to the following article that I think is a great read: Erasing the Dichotomy: Positive Portraits of Latina Muslims.
Finally, I presented at the Advocates for Youth Urban Retreat where 120 youth from all over the US, Jamaica, Nigeria and Ethiopia who are a part of sexual health education and activism were being trained. During my session (which had well over the 15-20 people we thought it would!) I discussed blogging as a woman of Color, using the internet as a form of activism and what that means for me. I shared how I was extremely happy that when I was preparing for our session last week that I found that when doing a google search for "latino sexuality" and then clicking images this is what can be found:
90% of those images are from THIS blog! These images are VERY different from the porn I found 9 months ago! This is amazing social change that happened very quickly and makes me excited!
Three of the participants shared that they are media makers in various ways and announced a new YouTube channel: Late Nights With Dr. Stud. Check out their first video below:

The Bully Bloggers are a queer word art group. We write about everything queer, so, pretty much everything. Politics, culture, etiquette, vampires, cartoons, the news, philosophy, utopia and revolution. This blog is our Bully Pulpit; we preach to the converted, the unconverted and the indifferent. We are very serious, but in a silly sort of way. We will be posting on topics that change weekly (approximately).
This one is going on the blog roll!
