Some storms are just beginning. Some you’re standing in the middle of. Some you’re finally walking out of.

Dancing During the Storm, Vol. 2 is a collection of short stories about the people in all three — and the choice every one of them faces: lay down, or fight.

This volume explores justice, women’s issues, and deception through stories that feel like they were pulled straight from real life. Who’s ready to dance through their storm with me?

From Their Shoes at the Evanston Library to Pullman Laboring Together at the Pullman National Monument, from published pages in Obsidian and Levitate to galleries from Illinois to North Carolina — my work has always been about centering us: African Americans and people of color, our history, our resilience, our humanity.

And now, I’m opening my doors for commission work. ✨ If you’ve got a story that needs to be told, a moment that needs to be preserved, or a piece that speaks to who you are and where you come from — let’s create it together.

An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.
