Bridging Divides
Each of us holds a unique essence, the specific, sacred identities that we claim as individuals shape the perspectives we hold and the stories we tell. Too often, the differences between us cast shadows and build walls to separate our hearts from one another. But in these stories, a variety of differences are celebrated: a girl and a god discuss the concept of loneliness, siblings explore the nuances of neurodivergence, a granddaughter reaches back through generations to learn about her grandmother's childhood, a student embraces the academic culture of a another country, and many more. In each of these pieces, written by members of the Girls Write Now community, walls are taken down and the divides between us are bridged.

Our Souls Will Rise
Inspired by Sappho’s fragmentary poems, Our Souls Will Rise describes the sensation of being trapped in a condition which is beautiful yet simultaneously confining love’s attempt to transcend distance.
Personal Statement
This is my College Personal Statement. As a senior, I spent a lot of time at Girls Write Now with my mentor working on this essay along with my other supplemental essays for college applications. This essay demonstrates my passion for technology and activism while also showcasing my growth.
A Life Long Taxi Ride
Growing up I was raised in a very cultured and loving community. However, when I began to interact with the world outside my community, I became aware of the many issues people like me face daily.
Girl (The Beatles)
This poem is meant to take you on a relatable musical journey. The songs were chosen based on my feelings sometimes, but they are mostly a reflection of a made-up character (loosely based on Napoleon Dynamite).
Metamorphosis
Starting the program in my freshman year of high school meant I grew up with Girls Write Now. Although saying goodbye is difficult, it brings me great joy to present our history.
A Tribute to Myself
This piece was inspired by the Natalie Douglas tributes workshop, along with 2020 being a new decade filled with emotions. Additionally, since I am graduating this year, this decade will be filled with me taking my place in history.
this is
“this is” is an answer to the question: “Where do you see yourself in ten years?” Just recently in history, women have the power to seize their opportunities and follow their dreams. This piece reflects on those dreams, and the future.
Reclaiming My Time
This essay is inspired by an essay prompt by an organization that I am in. With the help of my mom and Laura I was greatly inspired by all of the African American women that have made history.
505
After a visit to the doctor, “505” began in my imagination and ended as an exploration of a new genre and writing style for me.
Beautiful Skin
This piece is meant to call attention to racial problems that don’t exist only in the United States. Just because people’s experiences might be different doesn’t mean that they aren't cut from the same cloth. People should take pride in who they are because everyone is beautiful, not different.
