In 2016, DeLishaSylvester sat down to create this space. In the beginning, it was a space for her to address topics that affect black women daily, as well as, use this space as a way to heal her own wounds therapeutically through writing. She created this space with the understanding that I would need to be transparent in her journey in order to not only heal herself but help others that were silently affected in similar ways. Then, life went to hell and she spent the next four years rebuilding her relationships, gaining perspective, having a whole entire baby, balancing motherhood, being a daughter, a friend, and a lover. She learned a lot during that time and realized that this space was not good enough if it only addresses her needs. So in May 2020, she decided that she would open this space as a haven for black women to read their stories and contribute to amplify their voices through various art forms. This space was created to showcase that there is space for Black women in a world that looks to silence your existence. Black Superwoman Chronicles looks to reveal the truths of Black women, in their own words, with their art. Here we commit to using our creativity to be transparent in our journey and help others along the way. Here we are seen as human and not stereotypes. Here we are multifaceted. Here we are the superwomen that put our capes down and talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly-- and we do so with pride.
