Have a story, poem, article, or creative spark you’re ready to share? We’re all ears! The SWAYED Edit is looking for fresh, authentic voices to join us in celebrating Afro hair, culture, and community. Whether you’re a hair care aficionado, a poet with a passion for heritage, or a writer with a unique perspective, we welcome you to be part of our growing community.
We’re calling for submissions across all our sections:
- The Hair Stories: From personal journeys to expert tips, we’re here for it all. Send us your hair care stories, styling advice, or cultural reflections that celebrate the beauty and diversity of Afro hair.
- The Voices: If you’ve got a perspective that needs to be heard, let’s amplify it. We’re looking for interviews, opinion pieces, and spotlights on community initiatives that empower and inspire.
- The Citizenry: Dive deep with essays, reflections, and cultural commentary on the topics that matter most to the Afro diaspora. Share your take on global events, social issues, and personal stories that resonate with our readers.
- The Literaries: From poetry to fiction, we celebrate the written word. If you’re a storyteller, poet, or creative writer, bring us pieces that honor Afro heritage and showcase the richness of our literary tradition.
