Hats Off to Sienna L.M.!

Sienna's first narrative essay, “Color Girl: Miss-Guided Blackness” is featured in the current issue (September 29) of midnight & indigo, a small publisher and literary journal that provides a space for Black women writers to share their narratives with the world. Her essay is a recollection of the things that have helped her to survive with bold emotions in a world where Black femininity is eye-catching in the wrong way. As a Literary Artist, Sienna L. M., was recently named the winner of Sims Library of Poetry's first ever Bookmark Design Contest 2022.
