This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
Douglas:
Vanessa German Author Deesha Philyaw.
Philyaw: It was definitely a passion project, it was definitely a work of my heart. These women have been living in my imagination and in my curiosity, since I was a girl. This book is the fruition of nostalgia and history and memory and wonder and hope for myself and other black women, to get free of the things that hold us back.
