I Wanna Live Productions is a social media collective, specializing in radical black gyrl media, political education, sex positive empowerment and complete and utter disruption of the archive, academy and hu-MAN-ity as we known and understand it.

We believe black womyn’s voices are sheltered, altered, silenced, distanced, mangled, strangled, violated, disrupted,imploded and eroded.

We believe in telling our stories anyway.  And in this 21st century age of new media, if we STILL can’t be human…

We will be cyborgs.

Current Projects

#AntiJemimas

#AntiJemimas began in 2008 with the creation of Self Care: Revise, Revise, Revise.  Since then, #AntiJemimas has evolved into an online universe of blogs, Tumblrs and Twitters committed to the very hard work of building a real gyrl of color in a world of new media.

Kismet Nuñez, (#AntiJemimas Founder and Creative Director),  deploys 21st century forms of art, autobiography, and performance against the discursive terrain of race, sex and personality.  With the help of new media, Kismet breaks herself into pieces to become more than her parts in a revolutionary act of defiance, affirmation & self-care.
