Becoming Kirisha: A journey from Spokane to selfhood

Kirisha Marshall’s story begins in Spokane, Washington – but it evolved in Washington, D.C. Hers is a story of survival and transformation. It’s about what happens when a young Black woman leaves the Pacific Northwest and, for the first time, breathes freely in an environment where she is not one of a few, but one of many. It’s a journey from microaggressions and psychological isolation to affirmation, purpose, and power.
