In a world that constantly tells girls of color who they're supposed to be, ten young writers are claiming the power to define themselves.
From war-torn Sudan to the halls of elite prep schools, from a ship bound for uncertain shores to the pages of a hidden diary, these stories refuse to look away from hard truths. Through fiction and poetry that tackles family dysfunction, religious trauma, displacement, and the particular loneliness of being "the only one," you'll meet girls who save themselves, who protect each other, who refuse to stay silent even when silence feels safer. Here, hope isn't about denying the darkness—it's about lighting a candle to lead the way through.
The future leaders our world desperately needs aren't waiting. They're already here, and they have something to say.
