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.

Butterflies
If you ever feel too scared to grow and move on, just imagine the butterfly's transformation process. From beginning to end.
Things Forgotten
Dana Schwartz reminisces with her husband Harold at the hospital every Thursday. As his memories fade, he realizes she's not the same Dana from their first date—and he's no longer the same Harold.
Sapogi
“Sapogi” is a tender yet heart-wrenching examination of a mother-daughter relationship and a testament to the nuance of the cultural divide, or conversation, between immigrant parents and their children with shoes as the centerpiece.
I Smile Lemon Peel
"I Smile Lemon Peel" is a heart-wrenching, at times sour (no pun intended) journey of a woman finding her place in the world as she navigates her relationship with her body and her struggle to reclaim her agency over it. An homage to the image of the 1950s housewife baking a lemon meringue pie, this poem depicts the untold story of women as survivors, not victims, as they witness sweets curdle before their eyes, refusing to crumble when people pillage their bodies/souls.
My Will
To the people out there who are painted by injustice…like myself.
Her Blunt Persona
Interested in taking a deep dive into one of my AMUSING personalities: Bluntness. I view the positive and negatives being a blunt person has had on my everyday life and interactions with people. This is a personal account. I didn't intend to talk about this side of myself, but here I am sharing it with you…enjoy.
Adventures of Olive and Comet: Valentine’s Day
Olive starts Valentine's day expecting a fulfilling day with her best friend, Comet. However, her day quickly changes trajectory when unforeseen circumstances arise.
Bright Eyes
This poem is dedicated to all the women out there who struggle with the stress of parenting but are still able to find the love that comes from it.
Blue Sun
"Blue Sun" takes an escapist journey to the soul in order to figure out what love really means, what self-worth means and finding that inner validation of self-love.
Capes and Cancer
Coming of age is a painful process for all of us—even superheroes. In my story, I learn to embrace that pain and find a few superpowers along the way.
