Honor our names while we live, and you won't have to say our names when we die.

My Story

I'm Krystale. I wrote a narrative sociological piece reflecting on my life experience with trauma and pain amid the protests. My story resonated with people who suggested that I publish it. Kind folks helped me edit it to reach a broader audience and pitch it to media outlets. I then realized that I had no desire to edit my pain for mass consumption nor ask others if my story merited telling.  So, I decided to publish the original myself and Honor Our Names was born, inspired by broader movements for black lives and calls to amplify black women's voices.

Feel free to share if that's what moves you.
