Named after the poem by renowned, transcendental poet, artist, and activist, Maya Angelou, “Still I Rise” aims to continue the messages of empowerment and rising against opposition that Angelou leaves in her legacy. As recent events continue to make life more challenging to be women, the hope of “Still I Rise” is to continue the call to action of resilience that Angelou immortalizes in her writing and to honor the tireless work of women. Most especially, this issue aims to recognize women of color who have always led the charge in standing up for women, but who all too often go without adequate recognition of their work.
