Music and poetry fill all corners of my passion. Artistic expression is how I’ve survived for five decades. Storytelling is a currency in the Black community. Unlike old money, expressing our experience through the poetic narrative is hard-earned, a handoff of knowing how to live, survive, and thrive while navigating in life’s uneven handedness. Wisdom passes through each generation’s palms, inheriting a priceless salve to sweeten our suffering with joy.
