ATTENTION WRITERS OF THE AFRICAN DIASPORA



ATTENTION!!!!  ATTENTION!!!  ATTENTION!!!


One World One Voice Is Looking For Writers

Are you an aspiring writer in the African Diaspora?  Are you an aspiring photographer or videographer in the African Diaspora?  Do you capture videos on your phone that are important for the for to see?  Are you witness to news stories in your country, in your city that you want the world to know about? 

If you are like me, you have sent writing samples and photography portfolios to news outlets, both on and offline, only to receive barely a note that your material was received.  Maybe you don’t, like me, write to standards readily accepted by current media publications, but you know that your voice is no less valid.

One World One Voice and OWOVMedia are growing and looking for new and fresh talent throughout the African Diaspora.  We are looking for fresh voices that most media outlets, though they have broad distribution, are slow to recognize and publish.  Send us your local news, sports, culture, and other stories that you feel the world needs to know.   

We are looking for video, photography, and writing samples from across the African world: from all over the African continent the Caribbean, North and South America, Europe and Asia.

Feel free to express yourself in the way you do best.  Write the things your local and state papers won’t let you print.  Help the world hear about volunteer efforts before and after disasters.  Let the world see your city beyond conflict.  Show your brothers and sisters in the Diaspora what they can do to help the efforts already on the ground.  Help us FREE THE MEDIA FROM THE OLIGARCHS.

For those interested, please contact OWOVMedia and One World One Voice through Kwasi Abahu @ kwasi.abahu@gmail.com.  Let’s get started and make the entire world, ONE WORLD hear ONE VOICE.
