“Virginia Black Review was my first family at UVA. The community of the publication has encouraged, challenged, and inspired me as a speculative fiction writer beyond what I could have ever imagined.
The opportunity to be surrounded by so many talented creatives who care about each other and the work they do is something I really cherish throughout my student experience.”

“As a Black female artist, not only has art helped me with exploring my intersectionality, but it has also fueled my passion for my identity, as i see art in all things: music, education, politics, etc. For me, VBR is a family that provides a platform for all Black student artists to spread their wings and, in my opinion, grounds needs that now more than ever!”
