    Writer’s Quote Wednesday – Wole Soyinka

    This week, my Writer’s Quote inspiration comes from Wole Soyinka: Also known as observation or people watching, you’d be surprised how much you learn just watching and listening. I think that not to pay attention to the works of others will only rob us of an important part of the growing process. It’s one thing… Continue reading

    What Do You Want?

    Everyone has their own set of ideas about what makes good writing and marketing. But the key to it all, I think, is individuality.

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.
