"White Dads is an anthology of stories that focuses on a specific slice of the brown experience: fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, prose, and art by people of color who have white fathers. Don't let the specificity of the title fool you. The theme may be specific, but it is by no means narrow. By choosing an often overlooked focus, we have the potential to publish those who are bursting at the seams with untold stories. By choosing such a specific theme, we hope to solicit and ultimately showcase how absolutely wide open and uncharted many 21st century POC experiences are. There is no one singularly collective black, brown, POC, indigenous, mixed race, adoption, or interracial experience. [...] For this anthology, the parameters of white fatherhood were set as a way to create thematic focus. White men are too often the gatekeepers of our society. The impact of being on one side of the gate and having your father on the other is a relationship we seek to explore."--From Sarah Grace's website. <a href="https://whitedadszine.wordpress.com/aboutwdz/">https://whitedadszine.wordpress.com/aboutwdz/</a>
