Perspectives: Fern Stroud

When we circled back a year after we wrote our stories, everyone seemed elevated, almost freed. They no longer had to hold onto whatever it was that was holding them down professionally. They're freed. And that freedom is evident, and now it's impacting the lives of everyone they come into contact with. - Fern Stroud

Perspectives: Precious J. Stroud

“BlackFemaleProject exists to add more stories of truth to the entire scope of stories. If we tell our truth, then what someone else says as their belief of us no longer has power. We're adding more positive, truer stories into the world.” - Precious Stroud

The Bar for excellence WITH PRECIOUS J. STROUD

Growing up in the Bay Area, I was not viscerally aware of my experience as a minority. My parents, like many other Black folks, made sure of this. When I was growing up there were Black people everywhere from what I could tell. My parents patronized Black-owned businesses throughout Oakland and Berkeley.

Rules of Chésus: Making the System Fit You with Ché Abram

I had plenty of obstacles to work with and against to overcome. But they were different. They were obstacles, I think, of my own choosing and that makes all the difference in the world.
