Here is a short description from each of us on what we've included in the collection
Sojourner: "The collection is a meditation on Black femininity & the ways in which black women are uniquely vulnerable to violence in their homes, schools, public/digital spaces, both locally and transnationally across time and borders. These poems are obsessed with empathy for black women, colorism, desire, black mental health, healing practices, and intersectional identities on the margins of history."
Kamakshi: "The art featured in the collection is from a series that was both a means of and an ode to the transformative process of birthing as a creator, to the radical persistence that emerges under the many forces that threaten to erode us."
