Bresha Meadows is a 15 year old Black girl currently incarcerated in Ohio for defending her family against her abusive father. A black girl survivor of domestic violence, Bresha’s story is all too common. Black girls are 2 to 3 times more likely than their white counterparts to be criminalized. On May 22nd, Bresha will go to trial for daring to survive. Help us build a powerful space of love for all Black girls fighting to live in a world that doesn’t see us, and send love to Bresha. Bring your favorite poems and songs of love, joy and survival by Black women, non-binary and femme identified writers to share.
