"Deeply uplifting, empowering, and poignant." — Ebony LaDelle

"Deeply uplifting, empowering, and poignant, Bright Before Us, Like a Flame is the book I wish I had as a teen. With excellent writing prompts and passionate stories of pain, resilience and hope, this book is a call to arms for marginalized youth everywhere to write what feels true to their heart, and will inspire teen writers for generations to come." — Ebony LaDelle, author of Love Radio
