Black authors.Black stories. Black af.
Black Girls Who Write (BGWW) was a tweet that cultivated a community to gather black women authors and provide a safe space of our own in the book world - a world where bad - ass indie authors are not recognized. However, it’s okay because now we have our own underground community where we continue to thrive!
