“Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.”
—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

IN REVISION
LET’S DO BLACK PEOPLE SHIT is a deeply human collection of short fiction that charts the fragile, ever-shifting landscape of Black life and citizenship in America. Through stories that move between magical realism, crime, romance, dystopia, and mythology, the collection examines how intergenerational trauma, sexual identity, disability, and the pursuit of belonging shape—and sometimes fracture—the Black experience.
