DIDIS, BIG NEWS: We are collaborating with @tamilwomen and @satwcollective to launch THE DIDI CREATIVE FUND, supporting artists and sparking creativity in our communities for Asian Heritage Month. We are giving away two $500 grants and the deadline is May 31 at 5pm EST.
We survived Year 1! What a ride it's been so far.
When we launched @OverstoryMedia, we wanted to do things differently in the community news space.
Our starting point was simple: Find the best people and build the highest quality outlet.
How it's going:
Really proud to announce we've acquired one of the most iconic community publications in Canada, Halifax's The Coast.
An institution in #Halifax, @twitcoast has been around for nearly 30 years. It's our goal for it to continue for the next 30.
Some personal news! We're excited to announce that The Coast has been acquired and will be joining the @OverstoryMedia community!
What does that mean for us and you?
Four years since we launched @thedidihood and reflecting back on all the memories and the relationships we’ve built along the way has me gushing 🥰 Thank you all for joining us on this ride and helping to build this amazing community ❤️❤️❤️

It has been 20 (yes, 20!) years since the release of "Bend it like Beckham." This film changed so many things for representation -- one of the first times we saw brown women juggle the realities of two cultures. Today we look back at what the film meant for all didis👏🏾
