“Having grown up in chaos, developing routines for living was a basic necessity. I have derived intellectual and emotional strength from knowing that every day the sun rises and every day, in some small way, I will write. In this way, writing has become a practice of healing.”

          “Finding Your Voice,” Black Feminist Writing, p.62

Healing yourself and supporting others in their healing journey are acts of insurgency. Black Women’s Studies, the intersectional and interdisciplinary lens that shapes this work, critically examines how scholars can find their unique voice and alsoimpact communities on campus and beyond campus walls. And still we rise.
