Something You Didn’t Know – Open Invitation BlogShare

We had quite the drive to Chicago. As a result, my brother came up with a great road trip idea: Go around the car and each person reveals something about themselves that they didn’t think anyone knew.

A photographer on the Baltimore Protests

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.
