"Everything about Regina YC Garcia’s Whispers from the Multiverse is holy, and from the AfroDeep, this poet creatively spins an amazing collection of poems that come together in song, in diasporic review, in a necessary review of Blackness. . ." --Latorial Faison, Poet & Author

At long last, pleased to announce that my novel, Victors, has been released! A passion project of mine for about 10 years, it's based on the true story of Black American soldiers who fought in WWI. They were not allowed to fight alongside their fellow American soldiers and served under France instead. After basically winning the war for the Allies, they were not recognized, had their medals withheld and couldn't even wear their uniforms home to the U.S., where some were lynched when they got back.
