Rep. Myers’ Summer Reading List #3: The ‘Girl Power’ Edition

August 26, 2023

By LaKeshia N. Myers Women are fifty percent of the American population, yet their perspectives have historically been ignored.

A Tool for Parents and A Gift For Children “Magical Black Tears: A Protest Story”

February 12, 2022

By Ana Martinez-Ortiz Dreams are interesting things.

A Review of All the Women in My Family Sing: Women of Color Share Their Stories in a Book of Essays

August 25, 2018

By Nyesha Stone Being a woman isn’t something that’s easily defined, yet society tends to put all women into one box—with the assumption we all share the same experience. As women, we’ve been taught to ignore our differences, when in reality we should be sharing our stories as women not only with the world but […]
