OUR FOREWORD AUTHORS

Black Washed as a collection of narratives is elevated, weaved, and patted down by the declarations of ten Black women generously curating the foreword. Their stories, accounts, and chronicles span generations and sensibilities with care, confidence, and critique as only Black women can offer.
