This collection is a hymn, a healing, and a homecoming.
Through poems that honor the skin we live in, the crowns we carry, and the joy we create, this book celebrates the essence of Black womanhood and manhood in all its forms. It is an ode to our sensuality, divinity, and resilience a reminder that even when the world tries to paint us as heavy or chaotic, we alchemize struggle into strength, pain into poetry, and burden into something heaven-sent.
From the rhythm of our laughter to the elegance of our style, from Sunday gatherings to the everyday act of surviving and shining, these poems speak to the soul of a people who turn everything thrown at us into art, grace, and light.
This is a love letter to Blackness in all its beauty, soft yet strong, powerful yet tender, eternal and divine.
