Within the pages of "Earth Skin," you will embark on a poetic odyssey, divided into four captivating chapters: "I am Who I Am," "Ubuntu Circle," "I am Who I Love," and "Ori, Ara Emi" (my head, my body, my soul).
This collection delves into the intricate tapestry of self-perception, the bonds we share, collective experiences, the weight of trauma and grief, the nuances of love and romance, and the intricate interplay between our individual existence and the world, weaving together to form a collective "oneself."
Earth Skin
“This collection is deeply resonant and poignant, shedding light on the unique struggles and aspirations of black girls without compromising their strength and spirit. It is a rich tapestry of images and emotions, ranging from the profound to the mundane.”
“We are collective humans, community humans,
group-mental humans. I am who I am, we are who we are. We are ‘Earth Skin’ in motion.”
how would you like your liberation?
served with hot chocolate
slathered in whip cream?
how would you like your future?
running bare-chested in a forest,
arms stretched out to give life
a needed hug.
