About the Book

In 2005, the "We Got Issues" team -- Rha Goddess and JLove Calderon -- traveled the country gathering rants from over 1,000 women, from Rikers Island to the Republican National Convention. They held community dialogues, rantfests, and Red Tent gatherings. This joyful call to arms by young women warriors collects the best of those events. We Got Issues! showcases a new feminine generation as they speak honestly and courageously about the 10 most important issues facing young women today, from money and racism to relationships and motherhood. Each chapter frames a particular issue socially, culturally, and politically. A diverse range of rants, poems, and monologues are accompanied by an inspiring portrait of a woman warrior, "rituals of empowerment," quotes, statistics, and trends. Powerful black-and-white images capture these spiritual descendents of Eve Ensler, Alice Walker, Jane Fonda, and other old-schoolers acting up, acting out, and demanding change.

In May 2000, Essence magazine recognized Rha as one of its "30 Women to Watch." In 2002, BAM's prestigious Next Wave/NextNext festival chose her as one of six artists deemed to be influential in the next decade. Her activist work includes cofounding the Sista II Sista Freedom School for Young Women of Color and being the former International Spokeswoman for the Universal Zulu Nation.
