Summertime Hopes!

To celebrate our Summertime issue for Black voices, we asked our contributors what they hope to do this summer. How do your plans compare?

This summer I want to attend somebody’s small bbq (who’s grilling?), spend many hours by the pool reading, and some time at the beach with my toes in the sand.

I hope to go visit my Nana, stay up late asking her a million questions about her childhood and family, and make a mess eating lots and lots of crabs. I also hope to catch some fireworks, the drama of the explosions makes me sentimental.

I want to go to Disney.
