Verse from the Village

Afterglow is a limited collection of poetry that delves into overcoming trauma, discovering strength and tapping into spiritual resilience. It explores past trauma and informs these lessons to illuminate the divine strength in survivors. Using a black hole as a metaphor, it brings to light the often silenced faith based narratives of women, unveiling deep, untapped strength. Its tagline, “One Star’s Ending is a Black Woman’s Beginning” encapsulates its soulful core to illustrate rebirth and renewal. Above all, Afterglow provides a safe and inspirationally enriching space for survivors of color to regain their power.
