Overview

Women of Color is a collection of stories that covers a variety of experiences surrounding colorism by six Black women who grew up in single-parent and two-parent households. Each beautifully written story will invite you into a world that shaped the challenges and difficulties of each unique writer. You will hear from these women individually as they share their stories of shame, pain, rejection and resilience. As you dive into reading the many different topics covered in Women of Color, there might be some unintentional offenses-but there is also necessary healing that took place over the years. This healing can be felt by readers as each woman talks about and recognizes the complexities of being dark, brown, light and damn near white. This collection contains discussions of dark versus light, edge-of-your-seat compelling narratives and troublesome stories. The anticipation of what's next becomes a throbbing sensation at the front of your mind that will surely have you turning the pages. The purpose behind Women of Color is to bring more awareness to such a taboo topic. Women with multiple skin types and tones have been marginalized in an unwarranted system-a system that has historically maintained its origin and separated and divided women into two distinct categories. As we share a vignette of emotional and heartfelt short stories as Black women of color, from many walks of life, with an array of different skin tones, it is our hope that you see the beauty in the skin you're in. The flawless and electrifying qualities of your color and shade are the most stunning parts of your existence as a BLACK WOMAN!
