Synopsis:
The anthology comprises 46 short stories, essays, and poems by 28 different authors—with a focus on African culture and traditions. These authors write about their own experiences and perspectives on varying topics. From short stories about the dark and the light, and how we loved then and now, to poems en route the world gathering notes of those in search of beginnings and those at their ends, and essays exploring the lost and the found, grief, being— the works in this anthology are unexpected and defiant of conventions. In myriad genres and styles and with the mere power and beauty of their words, the writers in this collection hold a prism to humanity, opening minds to new ways of seeing, of knowing.

Ohio Valley MMA is antifa.
Also: you don't have to be an MMA fighter to defend Drag Queen Story Time or trans people. The truth is, at every Drag Queen Story Time where people showed up to defend the event, the fascist transphobes were defeated and crawled back under their rocks.
