With an MFA in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore, Victoria is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black women writers. As she says, "Zora's Den is a safe place for Black women to be true to their stories and experiences without feeling like they are too different for others to accept or understand."
