Too often writers pour into the community and platforms we so desperately need, at the cost of their own work. "Forged in FIYAH" is intentional about holding space for the authors whose labor made the magazine possible. In that spirit, we praise Eboni and invite you to enjoy her stories!

It's such an honor to be in @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social a second time. What makes me most proud about this story is that I wrestled with it & used my struggle to teach my GrubStreet and StoryStudio Chicago students.
