Donnamaria Culbreth, Darian Senn-Carter and Reynaldo Evangelista.

We are interested in well-crafted submissions that focus on how racism in America affects BIPOC. It is through these submissions that we hope to further enlighten society of the detrimental effects of racism on the psychological, emotional, physical, and social well-being and growth of BIPOC in the millennium.
