Voices Rising: Women of Color Finding & Restoring Hope in the City is a compilation of the stories of many women in mission. In these stories, themes of belonging, identity, calling, loss, and privilege emerge, outlining the difficulties in missions and challenging the image of this type of work by including new voices to help shape the narrative. Each author’s story of embracing her calling traces the discourse of intersectionality, margin, colonialism, and Scripture, aiming to invite and encourage others to participate in the mission of God within our world, and in whatever they may do.
