Sometimes the hardest thing to do is LET GO. Sometimes stepping away from the stage is therapeutic in itself. Mental health.

Range of emotions this morning while at AWP. Crying tears in the inside at the moment. Loss for words at the moment with the sacrifices, late nites, heartbreaks, rejections, silence, and imposter syndrome I’ve battled with craft over time.

Overwhelmed. Tears have shed. Loss for words at the moment but the sacrifices, late nites, rejections, the matriarch, community building, and relationships are recognized in this very moment. I’m one of six writers as a 2025 New Southern Voices Poetry Prize Finalists.

@MoonsAtDusk I’m here for it chile. Plus let’s not talk about the similarities with how growing up parents chokehold on listening to “secular music” because of its influences and spells. I couldn’t listen to hip-hop until later years. A la preacher boy.

@dolphinneptune Congrats 🙌🏾!!!
