Brazen, Black, and Free

Brazen, Black, and Free: Further Musings From the Intersection tells the story of a young woman on a healing journey. Her search for knowledge and sense of self during one of the most challenging events in modern history is put on full display. A story of unapologetically showing up for yourself, surviving a global crisis, and recovery; Brazen, Black, and Free aims to empower others to stand up and save themselves

Brazen, Black, and Free: Further Musings from the Intersection is a bold, unflinching follow-up to Tangela Williams-Spann’s acclaimed debut. With razor-sharp honesty and poetic reflection, she explores the complexities of being a Black woman living at the crossroads of identity, illness, liberation, and legacy. From quiet rage to sacred joy, Tangela invites readers deeper into her world—where every truth is both a wound and a weapon, and where survival itself is an act of resistance. This is more than a collection of essays—it’s a manifesto for the unapologetically audacious.
