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.

This poem is dedicated to all the girls who are forced, by circumstances, to hide their identity so they can be present for those around them. One reminder: You need to be your authentic self. Go out, find your flame, and take your place in history.
Blackbird
Like blackbirds we lived in a constant state of struggle trying to survive. Every time we tried to fly there were others pecking away at our wings. Like that bird, fueled by our need to survive, we learned to soar.
If Walls Could Talk
This is a fantasy story that I wrote in one of our pair sessions. This piece is only the first chapter of a novel I am working on.
Note to Self
“Note to Self” is a poem that was written in the midst of a wave of high self-esteem that shows itself rarely. This is when the power of Melanin Beauty reveals itself unapologetically.

A Painter’s Job
John, an excessive, narcissistic, psycho painter, finds himself liking Allisa, who just happens to be the girl whose house he’s painting, but just how far will he take this liking?
Tale of an Unsung Writer
I decided the best way to approach this year's broad theme centered around history was to show how I can change the trajectory of my own story by being honest about my passions.
