FEATURED POEM:
I am.
This piece was inspired by Aja Monet’s poem “I am”. It serves as a personal (and poetic) introduction to my essence. You can listen to the live performance delivered in collaboration with Senegalese djembe drummers and read along below.

Welcome to my digital home, where you’ll find insight into my words and world. Write to Resistance is where I record our collective wounds, recovery and resilience through poetic expression. I write intuitively and fluidly, allowing the words and images I receive to flow onto the page without committing to any one convention. For me, this creative process is cathartic, and offers the perfect container for sentiments too heavy for a plain paragraph to hold.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. ✨
