Step into the world
of a woman seeking to grow
everything she touches.
You never know,
you may find yourself
as a flower child, too!

“I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood.”
I’d track each
missing body
of my family:
the living,
the dead,
& the bastards lucky
enough to never learn
of the thickness of our blood.
the drowning
that waits
to claim us.

excerpt from “aquarium: a black family drowns & comes up for air.”
I believe
that storytelling is a transformative call to action,be it to:
reflect
imagine new worlds
strengthen voice
heal
The work that I attach myself to is that which is creating universes where people are visible, held tenderly, extended grace and affirmed.
