A home for Black girls’ voices. On the page. In the world.
Santim Publishing is an independent publishing initiative dedicated to storytelling, education, and youth knowledge production.
Through children’s books and youth-led publications, we create platforms that celebrate culture, curiosity, and global perspectives. Our goal is to inspire young readers and emerging writers to explore the world through stories, ideas, and research.
Kujua Journal
Kujua means “to know” or “to discover” in Swahili. Each issue of Kujua Journal invites young ACB women to discover their voice—and to help readers discover something new about the world we share.We publish work at the intersection of STEM, sustainability, Afro-feminism, and green leadership. But really, we publish whatever our contributors are thinking deeply about.
Three ways to contribute:
Rising Voices (Op-Eds)
1,000–2,000 words
