Dear Black Artist and Friends of Black Artists,

I hope everyone is doing the best they can under the many circumstances we are facing. It's been tough over here, too, but I'm trying to stay proactive and creative through sickness, health, and community unrest. Many of us artists have lost loved ones and a lot of work these past few months. It is going to be difficult to recoup but we must try. So artists and friends of artists who are on my mailing list, I need you all to help me get this booklet done. First thing is to get me the information I need.

To be honest, I was hoping that getting this booklet done was going to be a piece of cake. But it's not easy and it's now long overdue. If I can get your bios, a photo or two, what you are doing or hope to do to make up for the lost income, then I can distribute the booklet electronically to all of you, to organizations, put it out there so you can be found. I'm trying to do this at no cost to you. My new plan is to publish the booklet one way or the other within the next month. 

Thank you, I hope to hear from you and stay as well as you can. With love in my heart.

Rose Weaver
