Poetry and Creative Writing
I like to think about a lot, and then translate it all. See my creative written work below!
Textured, A Cultural Memoir
An introspective exploration of identity woven through images, words, and hair. Initially conceived as a course assignment, this piece has earned a special place in my heart for its authentic ability to capture the essence of who I was within a particular moment, place, and mindset.
Aphrodite of Stone
A poem on the rigidity of Aphrodite's indelible mark on the history of women and beauty.
Sagging Jeans
Personifying salient visuals of cultural life in Brooklyn in the form of clothing's undeniable ability to explicate personhood and life experiences.
916 Elton Street
A brief homage to the memory of growing up under the guide of my great-grandmother, while simultaneously discovering womanhood.
Black Snake
Touching on Black masculinity amongst a society that rejects and seeks to restrict it.
Tales from the Closet
Life tales.
