by As a Black woman living with an invisible disability, I’ve spent much of my life feeling unseen. That changed the day I picked up The Anthology-Our Power: Melanated Queens Rising Regardless of Their Disabilities by Rev. Dr. Raedorah C. Stewart. This isn’t just a book—it’s a mirror, a movement, and a much-needed medicine for the soul.
A Tapestry of Truth and Triumph
From the very first page, I felt like I was sitting in a sacred circle with women who understood me. This anthology brings together powerful voices of melanated women living with disabilities—physical, emotional, mental—and allows them to tell their stories in their own words. Each narrative is unique, but all are woven together by shared threads of resilience, self-love, and unapologetic truth.
Reading their stories, I didn’t feel alone. I felt like I belonged.
Disability Is Not a Limitation—It’s a Lens
One of the things that stood out most to me is how this book reframes disability. Instead of seeing it as a deficit, these women show us how it becomes a divine lens through which they navigate, create, and lead. From wheelchair users to women with chronic illnesses and neurodivergence, each writer redefines what it means to be strong, capable, and powerful.
Rev. Dr. Stewart’s chapter reflects her expertise in womanist theology and disability justice. She traverses between exegeting biblical texts on disabled persons, personal ethnography, and practical disability advocacy for typically abled society. You can feel the care, the scholarship, and the spiritual grounding that went into this work.
Kebra C. Moore’s Vision Is Revolutionary
Kebra C. Moore, the visionary author, does more than compile stories—she curates a sacred space for voices that have been silenced too long. Her journey after surviving a spinal cord injury reminded me that healing is not linear, but it is possible—and beautiful.
A Must-Read for Every Queen—And Those Who Love Us
Our Power is not just for disabled women of color—it’s for anyone who wants to understand, uplift, and stand beside us. It gave me language for my pain, pride in my identity, and a community I didn’t know I was missing.
To every Queen reading this: you are not broken—you are rising. And this book is your anthem.
