#SayHerName: Black Women's Stories of State Violence and Public Silence
Description
This powerful anthology centers the lives and experiences of Black women and girls affected by state-sanctioned violence, bringing visibility to stories too often overlooked in public conversations about racial justice. Through essays, testimony, poetry, and visual work, contributors examine police violence, gendered racism, institutional silence, and the enduring impact on families and communities. The collection challenges readers to recognize how race, gender, sexuality, and class shape vulnerability to state violence while honoring the strength and activism of those demanding accountability. Urgent, intimate, and deeply human, it serves as both a record of injustice and a call to say the names—and hear the stories—of Black women whose lives matter.
