What started as a simple collection of letters and reminders for my nieces increasingly grew into a heartfelt call of love and support to brown girls across the globe. These letters were no longer just reminders to my young nieces. They were a reality check to myself. They were speaking an emotional language to my own adult heart, and the conversation was long overdue. These were the motivating words often unspoken by our loved ones, and the "not so cookie cutter" life lessons our parents didn't always teach us, or let us overhear, due to the content being "too grown." So many of us have roughly fallen face first into tough circumstances we weren't prepared for. So many young girls are given the basics, yet sheltered from the topics and advice we truly need to be equipped with in the youth to young adult transition.This causes many to struggle with healing, maintaining healthy relationships, and self esteem, even in their adult years. My goal is to help change that narrative and begin a conversation that inspires growth, empowerment, and restoration in brown girls of all ages.

Poetry. African American Studies. DEAR GIRL: A RECKONING revisits the biography of 18th century poet Phillis Wheatley and reimagines her journey through the Middle Passage to Boston. The poems are a gathering of ghosts whose voices shift from slaver to enslaved, from the mouths of the sacred to haunted dreamer. Echoes of loss and fracture each peer into silences and gaps to uncover narratives of restoration. The poems are letters and mausoleums, voices of ghosts interspersed with theories of transgenerational trauma, that take on a range of forms and innovative strategies that visualize not only grief but a range of possibilities for healing. DEAR GIRL: A RECKONING is a book of conjure that aims to call and quell ghosts of a past not past.
