    “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.”

  • Production Head

    Second Year, Studio Art Major & General Business Minor

    “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!”

    “I've been creating for VBR since my 1st year! VBR has always had a special place in my heart and has been a huge part in my UVA experience. I'm so excited for y'all to see what we've got going on this year!”

  • Director of Communications

There's something uniquely special and communal about VBR that I appreciate and believe must be shared.”

  • Director of Operations

    “I like how VBR is not only a magazine which highlights the creativity of many Black people at UVA, but also how for me it is a space where people can come together and enjoy the sense of community that comes along with it.”
