I love how the stories here move through Black myth, life, and magic; weaving tales that are so immersive and vivid they are real. These authors and poets have captured the essence that lives within Black culture and tradition, using our words to reflect the uniqueness and creativity that thrives in our communities and relationships.

What I found most satisfying about this anthology is that regardless of the time in which these stories were set, the cohesive thread of culture: ritual, practices, ways of being, tradition, and heritage were connecting pillars and that elevated my time spent in this collection.
