Additional info

We have a particular affinity for science fiction, superheroes, and other “geek” genres We seek essays on the personal experiences of people of color and interviews with interesting people of color. We seek critical analysis of art by people of color. We are especially interested in stories about and by educators of color, and the experience of teaching the works of people of color.
