About this listen
Who gets to tell the stories of Black women writers? In this episode of Rooted in Story, we’re diving into The Sisterhood: How a Network of Black Women Writers Changed American Culture and unpacking the complexities of a book about Black women’s literary impact—written by a white scholar.
While The Sisterhood highlights the brilliance of Black women writers and their cultural influence, it also raises important questions about authorship, representation, and the role of diversity in academia. As a Black woman, mother, educator, and DEI director, I have my own thoughts on this—especially on the book’s critique of diversity offices in universities. Let’s explore the power of these women’s words and the tension of who gets to write our stories.
