Genesis Begins Again
Alicia D. Williams
Thirteen-year-old Genesis Anderson enters a new, predominantly white middle school after her family rents a house outside Detroit. Repeated evictions tied to her father’s gambling have made home uncertain. Genesis also faces bullying and colorism at school and within her family, while struggling with a harsh view of herself. Singing offers her release, but sharing her voice with the school feels daunting.
