Danez Smith is collecting funds to support their community in Minneapolis.
Still looking for ways to support Minneapolis and the black community there? One of Lit Hub’s favorite poets, Danez Smith, is organizing donations via their Venmo:
Plans to get toys, books, black skin and hair products, and so many other things a go. Using this whole lotta money starting today. We are sitting at around $43,500!!!! https://t.co/oOry9lAjUr

This is a great place to put your money if you can. And Smith is also seeking wealthy donors and large business who might be interested in matching these donations, so if that’s you, you know what to do.
