Tressie McMillan Cottom's renowned blog is titled Some of Us Are Brave, which was heavily influenced by this anthology.

In Cottom's words, "It was a text that wanted to make a formal place for Black women's studies in the canon. It was this idea that feminist studies could not take and had not taken great care with Black women as subjects and Black/Afam studies and not taken seriously Black women as subjects. The knowledge and the narratives of Black women did not fit into either or those, but some of us were brave enough to strike out anyway and create a body of knowledge for ourselves."
