Black female students release book of short stories

It is currently available for free at Makuu

 

A team of black undergraduate women and alumnae are out to fill a need on campus — one story at a time.

In order to influence and lead talented black undergraduate women through their first years of college, 17 female students and alumnae collaborated to share their experiences through a collection of short stories. The book, “Climbing Vines,” is composed of 17 separate narratives. They are rich and relatable pieces, and each aims to generate a dialogue about the experience of black undergraduate females on campus in a time when it is sorely needed.

“Climbing Vines” is as much of a commemoration as it is a call to action, however.

“I think ‘Climbing Vines’ is a great way to celebrate the black female presence on Penn’s campus,” Managing Editor of “Climbing Vines” and 2012 College graduate Courtney Paul said. ” It can be comforting, rallying, entertaining and surprising to discover the experiences of other people who share a common reality: We are all black women who went or are currently going to the University of Pennsylvania. ”

The book has an audience beyond the black community as well.
