DC locals Jolie Doggett and Rushinda Mccullough lead off this powerful collecting of important stories. Hear from students directly on what matters to them whether it be the impact of race, the beauty of culture, the sadness of police brutality, or hope for a cleaner Anacostia River.

From the publisher: “From go-go dancing and Mumbo sauce to gentrification, education equality, and environmental concerns, this collection explores what matters to this generation of new authors and offers key perspective into what DC is really like from their point of view.”
