    She’s Not Human

    I saw this episode once on Tales From The Hood. This little boy came to school with bruises on his body and he said a monster did it.

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.
