    Write Me a Picture

    A blank faced lyric how dull is the stare of a ball point pen bleeding empty This collection of words all myth in mouth colorful descriptions that cannot pierce the skin or cut the bone and tendons of image What lay beyond the composition of a word undefined What triviality is a tasteless meal What… Continue reading

    Memoir Sample – The Aid Office

    Our family survived off welfare and from that end I know it to be helpful. It was however, a possessive lover. In Robert Taylor, no one’s father was present since their mother’s couldn’t receive welfare with them. But not that men weren’t present; their existence was obvious since the projects themselves overflowed with innocence. Thousands… Continue reading

    Lay vs. Lie (vs. Laid) and Lain

    I know I am not the only one to have been confused between these words. I love writing, but grammar has not always gotten me very excited.

    Paper

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.
