WHAT OUR COMMUNITY IS SAYING

Girls Write Now is the gift that keeps on giving...

I have achieved milestones over the years I wouldn't even have fathomed  when I first joined as a mentee in 2015. I am thrilled to see what my growth with Girls Write Now as an Editor-in-Residence will look like and how I can contribute to cultivating fruitful experiences for this new generation of mentees.

-KATHRYN DESTIN,
GIRLS WRITE NOW EDITOR-IN-RESIDENCE

Black Bodies

By Kailah Trice

Dare I say her hair
Is too much
For the world
Keeps telling her to
Relax.
But my hair,
Has millions of years
Of strength in each curl.
