Nigeria and Pakistan

This week I am showing appreciation for my International Viewers. And being that I have residence in the U.S. that means any country outside America.

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
