Cole Arthur Riley:
American, Pittsburgh-based writer who creates Black Liturgies, a space that integrates spiritual practice with Black emotion, literature, and body. She is also the author of THIS HERE FLESH, a New York Times bestseller on spirituality and liberation.

It can feel foolish to pause to marvel at the stars when the world is burning. Or to find the world beautiful when you’ve known it to betray you. But wonder is a liberation practice. A reminder that we contain more than tragedy. Beauty is our origin and our anchor.
