Summary

Editors Darien Hsu Gee and Carla Crujido bring together 131 personal narratives written by established and emerging women of color. In 300 words or less, these true stories speak to otherness, familial relationships, impossible beauty standards, ancestral heritage, coming of age, and owning one's place in the world. This singular collection, inspired by Lucille Clifton's luminous poem, "won't you celebrate with me," sings to the beauty of how these women live and thrive in the world, and how they make their lives their own. Includes author commentaries, discussion questions for further exploration, resources for additional reading, and a guide to writing micro essays
