Assembly brings together voices of 31 dreamers, writers and change-makers who lead with historically marginalized identities: people of the global majority, members of 2SLGBTQ+ community, as well as those living with chronic illness, mental health challenges, and neurodivergent folks. This anthology offers its readers glimpses into an assortment of lived experiences and perspectives which in turn offer beauty, validation, inspiration and reflections on the wonderful things that can happen when communities assemble.
