I received an audiobook ARC through NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a beautiful, breathtaking, and heartbreaking short story collection of BIPOC voices from around the world.

This collection of short stories from the wonderful The Kweli Journal both gives an insight into the experiences and imagination of people from all around the world that we might not otherwise hear from, and truly unites us all in the human emotion and passion for storytelling.

A phenomenal project and an exquisite and eclectic collection of stories.

Marvelous!

Expected pub 5/13 - thank you NetGalley.

This audiobook was read by multiple narrators, lending authenticity to the stories within. The differing voices clearly marked the change in stories, which is something that is sometimes missed in audio format. I truly enjoyed each of these narrators. As for the format itself, I do wish they had introduced each story with the title and author because with compilations, the listener sometimes wants to look up more by that author.

That was definitely the case in this collection. Even the foreword by Edwidge Danticat (who was a large part of my interest in the collection) and the intro by the editor made we want to read more of their words.

Each one of these stories was moving in some way. They explored immigrants, refugees, and caste. Many of the stories were from women’s POV and showcased their extra burdens as mothers, caregivers, and wives. Race and ethnicity was explored and varied. I got a sense of multiple countries and cultures throughout this. I’d also love to point out that the male POV stories are just as interesting and impactful. Their struggles go beyond male machismo, and these stories justly represented great emotional depth for the male characters. Laura Pegram says in her intro that she was looking for stories and words that meant more, showed more, than what was on the page. Her curation is peak, and I look forward to reading more of each of these authors.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an advance copy of the audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

This is a beautifully crafted collection of short stories, offering a wide range of experiences while exploring powerful, often intersecting themes. The use of multiple narrators, one for each story, adds a dynamic quality to the audiobook listening experience, giving each piece a distinct voice.

I found the stories exploring the disconnect between characters' home and school lives particularly resonant. The collection delves into difficult territory, frequently depicting grinding poverty, caregivers at their breaking point, and the devastating impact of neglect, abuse, or exploitation by those meant to be protectors. These themes make for a demanding and often upsetting listen.

The first few stories set a very dark tone, which initially made me wonder if I could continue with the collection. While subsequent stories often maintained this emotional weight, many wove in moments of light that sustained my listening momentum. Several stories conclude without clear resolution, hovering between probable disaster and the faintest possibility of bittersweet redemption.

Structurally, while the variety keeps the collection engaging, the intense emotional weight is somewhat concentrated towards the beginning. Introducing some of the relatively lighter (though still complex) stories earlier might have created a slightly more balanced listening journey.

The audiobook production itself was strong, with the varied narrators enhancing the experience. I did encounter a minor technical issue within the NetGalley app where playback progress exceeded 100%.

This is not a collection to be entered into lightly. While I didn't uniformly "enjoy" every story due to the heavy subject matter, I found most pieces thought-provoking and impactful, learning something valuable from every narrative.

Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

3.5/5 - Great writing by all of these authors and I really appreciated that the stories were all described in the prologue by the editor. I think any negative feedback that I have around this book might come from the fact that I’m not the biggest fan of non-essay style short stories, but overall, this was a good read.

[Sukran · Rating 4 out of 5]

I absolutely loved this book. It brought me back to my childhood. I was 9 again and eavesdropping on my mom and her friends exchanging weird, scary and sometimes just mundane stories they heard in their village growing up... Until they saw me and chased me off.

So give it a shot, especially if you have some foreign blood in you, like me. 

Like every short story collection some stories will appeal more to you than others. But this was a good one. Never forget, these authors put themselves out there.

So thanks for all the authors for writing these little pieces of gems and Netgalley for providing me a copy of the audiobook.

Rating: 3.5 stars

I received a digital copy of this book on NetGalley for an honest review.

The collection of short stories in the Kweli Journal’s Sing the Truth was an enjoyable read for me. What I liked about these stories is how I felt like I was the person narrating their stories, like I was living their everyday experience. Even though I know I can’t relate to these characters and all their struggles, I didn’t feel that way when reading their stories. I believe a lot of that is due to how real these characters’ struggles felt to me, which is what I was hoping for when I read this collection.

What I also enjoyed reading Sing the Truth was getting to read stories from BIPOC writers. I’m going to be honest, I’m not always the best at reading a diverse set of books. I have a particular set of genres that I really enjoy reading, and I typically stick to reading books within those genres. However, from time to time, I find myself wanting to give other genres in literature a try. That is when I find myself reading stories I typically wouldn’t, and end up discovering books I enjoy more than I was expecting to.

For me, whenever I read, I usually read books that allow me to escape reality. But I have come to realize, too, that I need to branch out when I read. And for me, that involves reading books outside of the genres I typically enjoy and reading stories that take me out of my comfort zone. As a white woman, I feel like it’s really important that I read stories from BIPOC authors and that I read stories about characters whose voices need to be heard. Stories that are not geared towards someone like me as their intended audience, but that someone like me needs to read all the same, because of the importance of reading about others’ struggles, even if you can’t necessarily relate to them. I also feel like it’s important to read works written by BIPOC authors because I see it as a learning opportunity about other cultures and to acknowledge the struggles people go through just because of the color of their skin. So, for me, I also enjoyed reading this book because of the stories being written by BIPOC writers and having the chance to read about struggles from a perspective I know I’ll never have to face.

What I also found enjoyable about the stories in Sing the Truth was the different themes. A lot of the characters in this collection struggled with loss, feeling out of place, and finances. I enjoyed these stories because they talk about these struggles and how the characters here get through the challenges they are dealing with. I especially enjoyed reading the stories in the collection that focused on loss because of my own experiences with loss that I’ve dealt with. I felt like I could relate to those characters and the choices they made to deal with the loss they were experiencing, even though their loss is different from mine.

There are only two things with this collection of short stories that I didn’t particularly enjoy: the characters and endings. Some of the characters in the short stories I didn’t particularly like. I don’t know for sure if the authors who wrote them made that intentional, but I found some of the characters unlikable. I felt sympathetic for them because of what they were going through, but didn’t like them because of some of the choices they made or how they treated members of their family in the story. The characters, in particular, that come to mind for me are the mothers in most of these stories because of how they used their daughters to get the money they needed. While I understood that they were going through a tough time and needed the money, I wasn’t okay with this aspect in those stories because I felt like the daughters weren’t given a choice in the matter, and the mothers didn’t act like they cared. I also didn’t like the endings for a majority of the stories in this collection. Mostly because I felt like some of the stories ended with no real resolution, or in the middle of the story I was reading, being told. They didn’t make sense to me because they left me feeling like there was more of the characters’ story the author had to tell.

But overall, I enjoyed reading this collection of short stories from the Kweli Journal’s Sing the Truth (link here for anyone interested in checking out their website to learn more about them: https://www.kwelijournal.org/ ). While there aren’t certain stories within the collection that stand out to me to name as my favorite, I enjoyed reading a variety of stories and reading about struggles told by BIPOC authors. Sing the Truth was published on May 13, 2025, for those interested in reading this collection from the Kweli Journal.

Sing the Truth is a remarkable 15th-anniversary anthology from Kweli Journal, and the audiobook experience is just as memorable as the writing itself. Curated to showcase BIPOC voices from around the globe, these short stories range from intimate slices of daily life to stark examinations of systemic injustice, threading together themes of resilience, grief, love, migration, and identity.

The full-cast narration is a standout. Each story is performed by a different narrator — including some highly acclaimed voices — giving every piece its own rhythm, accent, and emotional texture. This variety not only keeps the listening experience fresh, it also honors the distinct perspective of each author. The performances are layered and authentic, elevating even the quietest moments into something resonant.

This is not a light listen. Many stories carry emotional weight — poverty, generational trauma, incarceration, loss — and some end without neat resolution. That lack of closure feels intentional, leaving space for reflection rather than tidy catharsis. Yet, within the heaviness, there are moments of tenderness and hope that keep the collection from being unrelentingly bleak.

Production quality is excellent, and the shifts between narrators make the transitions between stories clear — a detail that’s often missed in multi-author audiobooks. If there’s one quibble, it’s that story titles and author names aren’t always announced before each piece, which makes it trickier to look up favorites afterward.

For listeners new to Kweli Journal, this anthology is both an education and an inspiration. It’s a project rooted in amplifying underrepresented voices and preserving cultural storytelling traditions, and the audio format does justice to that mission.

Best for: Those seeking a diverse, emotionally rich collection that’s as rewarding to sit with as it is to listen to.
Not for: Listeners wanting lighthearted escapism — the subject matter here asks for emotional investment.

[Parsnip · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very pleasant collection that clearly shows the quality of the Kweli Journal publishing.

It's undeniable from the very beginning and until the very end, these authors selected are great ones. The short stories displayed here are evident testimonies of that. The writing is strong, and often daring as well. I've rarely read so many pieces playing with pronouns and address to the reader the way many of them did in Sing the Truth. I always appreciate a story that chooses "You" as the main narrative, I found it systematically both deeper and more playful. Even when slightly clumsy, it proves a thoughtful and clever understanding of writing as a media and a desire to engage differently with the reader which I admire. Here, despite some stories being maybe less striking or memorable than other, I find it always obvious that the writer was nonetheless understanding what makes good writing and layered characters and would soon be an accomplished author if they weren't already, just lacking a little bit more experience at the time to fully discover and embrace the uniqueness of their voice.
I'm not used to reading anthologies by different authors, so it could be just that, but I found it difficult to enjoy this as a whole. Usually in short story collections, some are obviously less interesting than others and these lows are needed to better highlight the highs. But here, as all of them had evident qualities and balance, it seems harder to remember my favourite ones and somehow set an even unfairly higher standard! Anyway, this was great, I'll definitely read more from many of these authors!

3.75/5

Thanks to NetGally and the publisher for a copy of these book in exchange for an honest review.

Sing the Truth is a powerful anniversary collection from Kweli Journal, celebrating stories by and about BIPOC communities. Edited by Laura Pegram—who herself lives with an autoimmune disease—this collection feels deeply personal, raw, and reflective of lived realities that often go unheard.

These are not easy stories. Each one is a slice-of-life vignette, grounded in themes of immigration, assimilation, illness, poverty, and otherness. The tone is unflinchingly bleak at times, but that bleakness feels intentional—a reflection of the sacrifices and quiet strength it takes to survive in systems not built for you.

The multiple narrators in the audiobook bring depth and authenticity, helping the stories feel even more rooted in truth. Still, this isn't a collection you'll binge. It’s one to take in slowly, to sit with the weight of each story.

If you're looking for joyful escapism, this won’t be it. But if you want a collection that holds space for the complexities of BIPOC life in America—this delivers.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance listening copy.

I have loved Edwidge Danticat’s work since I was in middle school. So when I saw that she was attached to this project, I knew I had to read it! And I’m so happy I did, because listening to Sing the Truth was an exceptional experience. This book marks the publication’s fifteenth anniversary, and what a way to celebrate.

The narrators, every single one, brought these stories to life beautifully, each performance layered with emotion and authenticity. This audiobook was both educational and deeply inspirational.

After listening, I took some time to learn more about the Kweli Journal, and I was struck by how consistently they amplify voices too often overlooked in contemporary literature. This anthology is proof of that mission in action. You will learn, you will be moved, and you will be inspired to carry forward the work of those who came before us.

This was an extraordinary read and an equally powerful listen that I highly recommend.

[Dusty Shell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'd never heard of the Kweli Journal, but I am now fully invested in finding out more about it. This collection of short stories brings to life through several narrators BIPOC voices. You'll feel the hardship of a mother trying to care for her children after her husband becomes incarcerated, follow a young college student back home to discover that she's changed and may not fit in with where she always called home, a grieving widow who takes a very unconventional approach to work through her loss, and more. This collection celebrates cultural diversity and explores themes of identity, belonging, and resilience.

I loved that the audiobook had multiple narrators, including one of my faves-Bahni Turpin. It really gave the stories that extra authenticity.

You will grow empathy and awareness and lean into why it's so important to amplify diverse voices with these stories.

A huge thanks to NetGalley and the author for sending me the a free ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Thank you to Netgalley and S&S Audio for the gifted audiobook.
I was excited to listen to a collection of stories from the voices of BIOP and marginalized authors.
Each story has a different narrator, some of whom I recognized from other audiobooks. I believe all the narrators did a great job. The narrators included ones that are well-known and top-rated.
I enjoyed the variety of voices and accents!

Each story is different. The stories are wide-ranging, from teenage love (one of my favorites), dealing with the grief from the death of a loved one (very unique story), poverty, sexuality, and generational trauma (trigger warning). I liked some stories better than others, but I appreciate them all.

3.75 Stars overall

[Kaitertot · Rating 5 out of 5]

This short story collection was beautiful and moving, and should absolutely be required reading in 2025. The collected works from fourteen incredible BIPOC authors explore the meaning of home, family, love, and diasporic identity. Each entry is unique in it's perspective, but they all remind the reader that the layers of identity are in constant flux in ways we can't always see through out own narrow gaze. By engaging with the stories and experiences of the people around us, we come ever closer to truly knowing ourselves.

My favorites were "A Hard Bed" by Princess Joy L. Perry, "Cleaning Lentils" by Susan Muaddi Darraj, "Magic City Relic" by Jennine Capó Cruset, and "Straight Dollars or Loose Change" by LaToya Watkins.

Sing The Truth is set to be released on May 13th, 2025!

Sing the Truth is an anthology from Kweli Journal, highlighting 15 short stories by different BIPOC writers. These stories focus on various themes, including grief from different types of loss, resilience, family, abuse, and more.

What a heartbreaking and beautiful collection. Some standouts for me were the stories Work, Cold, Cleaning Lentils, What's For Sale, and Emperor of the Universe.

The audiobook had each story narrated by a different person, which added to the authenticity of the different story perspectives.

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories as an extensive introduction or taster for a variety of authors. I do not often read short story collections, however, I appreciated how each story chosen provided a clear example of each writer's voice. This is a great place to start if you are looking for more BIPOC authors to follow. I enjoyed the range of experiences covered by these stories. The audiobook was very well done, and each narrator brought their story to life. The changing voices of the narrators further distinguished each story and perspective from the others.

[NaTaya Hastings · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm always hesitant to dive into short story collections because -- on the whole -- I'm not a fan. I prefer novels, as I feel that short stories often don't have the time to fully develop characters and plot and so always feel a little rushed and flat to me.

However, I also try to be a well-rounded reader, and collections like this are pretty important to maintaining that. So, I requested and received this through Netgalley, and I was very pleasantly surprised.

This collection was beautifully crafted. It has a wonderful mix of works from black, native, Hispanic, and other POC authors and isn't just limited to one group of people. The themes are emotional, powerful, and sometimes heartbreaking but always compelling and resonant. The narration aspect, too, really added to the overall enjoyment of the book. I highly recommend this one in audio format because the diverse range of narrators really does make the experience better.

Not all of the stories are happy. In fact, some of them are quite bleak, but even those are beautiful in their way. I found there to be a good mixture of both light and heavy stories, unresolved stories and stories with resolutions, uplifting stories and stories that will break your heart. The collection never drifted too far into either side of the road, which made for a very balanced and easy-to-read selection.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to add more diversity to their reading repertoire or people just looking for a collection of good, quick reads.

It was clear from the introduction that this anthology was carefully and lovingly curated. Each story carries an emotional weight that unites this diverse collection. Defiant, heartbreaking, and challenging, I can say that most of these stories left an impression and that I would read more from each author. Admittedly, school made me wary of short story collections, but Sing the Truth would have been a welcome addition to the curriculum. The narrators are successful in elevating and bringing the stories to life.

“Stories,” Edwidge Danticat says in the foreword, “are like the type of paintings or photographs you find yourself fully absorbed in. You know something happened before and after the image you’re looking at, but you wholly fall into it while taking it in.” It’s a great summary of this anthology from Kweli, which although a fairly mixed bag, I found mostly good.

Kweli’s self-described mission is “…to nurture emerging writers of color and create opportunities for their voices to be recognized and valued…” and to “[empower] writers to share stories that engage and impact our communities.” *Sing The Truth* was released to mark Kweli’s fifteenth anniversary.

I connected particularly with two stories about consequences: *A Hard Bed* by Princess Perry, about a young Black girl with extremely limited options who proceeds to mess up one of her best ones; and *Cold* by Naima Coster is the doleful tale of a woman who chooses—and continues to choose—the wrong man.

There are also two good stories about family. *Farradiyya* by Reem Kassis describes the experience of a family that’s made homeless time and time again by colonial settlement. It asks the question: Where does rootedness come from, the family or the land? *Cleaning Lentils* by Susan Muaddi Darraj is about both the effects of cultural dislocation and the importance of intergenerational connections in grounding us.

Then there are the two fun ones about gods: the charming *La Hija de Chango* by Ivelisse Rodriguez, about orishas and magic, and *Emperor of the Universe* by the incomparable Kaitlyn Greenidge (such an excellent writer!) which is a very unsettling story about loss and return, and a gentle exploration of the madness of grief.

It’s *nice* to have works by so many diverse authors collected in one place; this anthology celebrates Kweli’s important work in bringing these voices to the world. An important addition to any library.

Many thanks to Authors Equity and NetGalley for early DRC access.
