Description
xA powerful must-read collection of bold BIPOC voices. These stories serve as windows into diverse communities while inviting readers of all backgrounds to engage with and appreciate the richness of our cultures. --Edwidge Danticat, from the foreword Hailed as "The Paris Review of BIPOC literature," Kweli Journal has been a launching pad for many of today's most celebrated writers. Kweli--"truth" in Swahili--marks its fifteenth anniversary with this luminous collection edited by founder Laura Pegram. These vivid narratives explore the devastation of leaving home and the struggle to adapt to reimagined lives, lost loves, distant families, and buried pasts, deepening our understanding of the human experience. Featuring works from acclaimed authors Naima Coster, Nicole Dennis-Benn, Daphne Palasi Andreades, Susan Muaddi Darraj, and others, this anthology stands as a testament to voices too often overlooked in contemporary literature. All proceeds support Kweli Journal's mission to nurture emerging writers of color and foster a vibrant literary community.
