Support 'Yasmin': Empowering Queer Black Music

Hello, beautiful souls! My name is Malaika Mfalme, and I am thrilled to launch my fundraising campaign for my album, 'Yasmin.' We have poured our hearts and souls into recording all the tracks, and now we need your support to bring the visual aspects of this project to life. Your generous donations will help cover the expenses for images, album covers, and press photos.

'Yasmin' holds profound significance to me as it marks the beginning of my music career and serves as a platform to share my queer black talent with the world. Through this album, I aim to create awareness, inspire audiences, and showcase the beauty of love, loss, grief, yearning, and the sheer joy of being loved and accepted. It is a tribute to my late partner, as the eponymous name is derived from the last track on the album.

I am incredibly excited to see this project take flight, but I need a little help to make it happen. I understand that the cost of living crisis has affected many of us, but even a small contribution, like $5, can go a long way in getting this show on the road. Despite applying for grants tirelessly, the support hasn't come through, so I turn to the community that believes in the power of music and the celebration of diversity.

Your love, solidarity, and assistance mean the world to me. As a token of my gratitude, every donor, if desired, will receive regular updates on the album's progress and an exclusive invitation to the grand launch event. Together, we can make 'Yasmin' a reality and amplify the voices of underrepresented artists.

Press play for a little teaser of the album and to hear what you're putting your money towards!

Thank you from the depths of my soul for your unwavering support. Let's embark on this incredible musical journey together and create something truly extraordinary!
