About
ZORA
A publication from Medium that centers the stories, poetry, essays and thoughts of women of color.
Note from the editor

ZORA is by, about and for women of color and our allies. If you have an essay that analyzes or adds to the multi-dimensional conversation surrounding and centering women of color, please tag your published post with “ZORA.” If we like it, we may reach out to you to feature it. Topics are wide, but include culture, work, life experiences, parenting, education, racism and politics. ZORA only publishes works that are already live on Medium.
