The Journal Committee at the Center for Writing and Speaking at Agnes Scott College would like to offer many thanks to our directors Dr. Christine Cozzens and Dr. Mina Ivanova, as well as our coordinator Imani Young Bey for their continued support and guidance in the publication of this journal. We would also like to extend thanks to our current committee members Lyrik Courtney, Alex Fallon, Alice Mawi, Taelyn Reid, and Jasmyn Stamper for their respective contributions that made this volume possible.
