Lessons From My Daughter

…adults, to be kind to themselves, choose disbelief.

Choose not to hear, while children, brave their worst fears.

Poetry

If you were to only watch one of my interviews, ever, this is the one. Karibu

Poetry, Video

…the ever present threat that brought me is not over.

I beg to excuse myself, to the bathroom, to check my phone.

…some of my most intimate pieces.

Am I not a center of adorations.

Am I not doted on,

Wanted?

Always.

Poetry

Six months pregnant and on fire.

We wear slogans of positive energy,

Cloaked around justifiable anxieties.

And whisper quietly,

About the shouting, inside.
