Call for Contributors

A little over a week ago, as a result of Julie's post, there was some discussion in the comments about diversity here at The Soccer Mom Vote.  Mocha Momma said this, to start:

"Please, please, please take this in the spirit in which it is intended: I notice that your definitions of diverse in your choices of writers include religion and politics, but don't you have any writers of color? Certainly now more than ever that would be appropriate. Soccer Moms come in lots of colors."

And yep, she's right.  The line-up of contributors here has women from across the U.S., with various political and religious leanings.  However, so far, all of us are some variation on the color that goes with Caucasian.  I sport "pasty white" myself, year round.

We've got plenty of room to grow and diversify here.  When this site started, I was begging friends to participate and praying it lasted a couple of months.  I'm thrilled that we've grown and happy to have others join in.  The basic obligations of contributors are 1-2 posts a month on political/social topics of your choosing and a willingness to participate in the community here, while adhering to the ground rules.

If you're a soccer mom of color and are interested in joining the team, send us an e-mail with a little bit about yourself and a link to your blog. 

We're also happy to hear from soccer moms from any walk of life.  SERIOUSLY.  If you want to play, let us know!   

C'mon, don't be shy.  Send us an e-mail now.

Ah, yes -- I've heard the term 'pasty white'
to describe my complexion, as well. There must be something more flattering! ;)
