Kickstarter Projects We Can Get Behind

With sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, now more than ever, creative types are witnessing their work come to fruition with the help of people who can put their hard-earned pennies behind the type of content they’d like to see.

As a site that continually seeks to feature upcoming artists of every ilk we are ‘kickstarting’ a new series on Projects We Can Get Behind.

Here are some terrific projects we’d like to see make it.

Too Much Information: A Photography Book – Cait and Yael

Goal: $3,500, 10 Days to go. 

Cait and Yael, who are a couple, are leaving in July to embark on a two-month long backpacking trip across Europe (as well as Turkey and Morocco) with the intention of making a book.  They’re  compiling a book of the photographs and text from their trip, and one of the biggest aspects of the journey will be couchsurfing with girls in the queer communities abroad and actively documenting and participating in those scenes.  Cait and Yael are both recent graduates from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and both studied photography.

"With your help, we could cover expenses like the cost of film, film processing, and the first run of the book.  We promise that any extra funding we get will not be spent on beer, but will be used to make this book better," Cait and Yael write on their Kickstarter page. 

BlackOUT Magazine - Sajdah Golde

Goal: $8,000, 12 days to go. 

A magazine for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer identifying individuals of African descent.

BlackOUT magazine was founded by Sajdah Golde after her experience as a cast member of Showtime’s The Real L Word, a reality television series that focuses on lesbian women living and loving in Los Angeles. After receiving both praise and criticism for her role in representing the African-American LGBTQ community, she was committed to creating a new venue for black same-gender loving individuals to get the attention they deserve. BlackOUT magazine will cover topics from fashion and lifestyle to addressing current issues in the African-American LGBTQ communities.

BlackOUT magazine will feature a host of African-American LGBTQ individuals and Allies who are encouraging the respect and support of the LGBTQ community, within the black community!
