“Throughout Holler, Child, we see love lost and gained, and grief turned turned to hope. This collection peers deeply into lives of [people] experiencing intimate and magnificent reckonings–exploring how race, power, and inequality map on the individual, and demonstrating the mythic proportions of everyday life.” – Penguin Random House
Join us in this Possibilities Hub as we explore race, place, gender, and literacy through this powerful collection of short stories.

Stephanie D. Keene is a Philadelphia-based educator, creator, and organizer. Her justice work focuses on abolition (including but not limited to the prison industrial complex). She has 20 years of experience educating and organizing communities around justice issues. Stephanie aims to contribute towards a world where all activist energy can be used to sustain what is built rather than resisting what gets in the way of building. In the meantime, she contributes her passion and skills to facilitate growth and connections and help us get to a place of greater compassion and capacity to care for ourselves and each other. In her free time, Stephanie pursues joy and wellness. She is an avid reader and the grateful mother of a bright beam of light. A proud graduate of the first HBCU, Lincoln University, she is working for the freedom of all people.
