whose voices we have been so desperately waiting to hear more of
through a mix of interviews and personal essays. Jen shares a

range of levels and all with fascinating stories to tell.”—Joy Cho,

“This Long Thread brings an intersectional perspective to craft and
unearths the reality that for many women of color the meaning of
craft is intertwined with our identities and is a vehicle for us to
share our untold stories through art. I couldn’t recommend this
book more.”—Leah Thomas, founder of Intersectional
Environmentalist

engage in community, tradition, innovation, and most importantly,
unbridled self-expression.”—Justina Blakeney, artist, author, and
