""Told to 'tell the story, ' Shands Stoltzfus does just that-inviting us into powerful reflections on justice, resistance, resilience, and radical love. Through personal and public narratives, each story is a launching point for a deeper conversation and justice-centered thinking."" -Jill Hurst-Wahl, Widerstand Consulting, Professor Emerita, Syracuse University ""Shands Stoltzfus powerfully captures the soul of the Black spirit-past and present. It is a call and a command, summoning Black people to remember, to rise, and continue the journey, while compelling 'the other' to listen deeply and wrestle with what justice requires."" -Pastor Cyneatha Millsaps, Executive Director, Mennonite Women USA
