In 2018, eleven Black women volunteered to come together over eight weeks to share, learn, support one another, and to find out more about how systemic poverty has impacted their lives. Their time together is carefully chronicled in a recent book by Winston-Salem State University professor Michele Lewis. The group became a source of connection and learning for the women involved and the author herself.
