Founded January 1st, 2017 and conceived in the hell fire of 2016, the Chismosa News Network is the brainchild of indie sociocultural critic and artist Zahira Kelly in collaboration with her fellow social media maven friends Lauren Chief Elk and Shaadi Devereaux. In Latin America, the Chismosas are the neighborhood gossipers but also networks of feminized knowledge spreading, warnings gleaned from experience, and storytelling.
We are News from marginalized womens perspective: We aim to bring you short concise unfiltered video news clips of current events and issues mainstream media doesn’t cover (or covers badly) as well as commentary from an intersectional feminist anticolonial perspective. All in casual girl talk and chisme form.
