Welcome Table Talk
Wintergreen Women Writers Collective and Torch Literary Arts are embarking on an intergenerational three-year project for Black women writers called Welcome Table Talks.




Piece The Way Home
We often describe Wintergreen using the metaphor of a quilt. Put together piece by piece, using wonderfully diverse materials, stitched together in sisterhood, and handed down with care from generation to generation to envelop each member in warmth and safety. But if Wintergreen is a quilt, then Val was the piece at the very center, holding us all together.
