    I wasn’t going to post anything today but I thought it would be the perfect time to explain what this segment is really about for those who don’t already know. Although inspired by Iyanla Vanzant (learn more HERE) this is deeper than her quote. But before talking about what this is about, let’s talk about… Continue reading

    She is manipulation like time told backwards Even the strongest think they’ve escaped her But she tap dances on their lips And she impales their language With their slave master’s mentality She is Judas Sticking her hands in the cup of your salvation She’ll take you From light to darkness From the daylight to those… Continue reading

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.
