    Hey You…yes, YOU

    Hi there :).   I actually don’t want anything. Just wanted to take this time to see how everyone’s doing. Oh me? How thoughtful of you to ask (lol). I’m well, busy, but well.  In case you haven’t noticed already, there has been a slight change in my posting schedule. I now have more time… Continue reading

    Betrayal

    What happened when you read the title of this post? Did you hearken on a definition, or did your mind replay the events of the past? They say betrayal is something people do to the ones they love. How profoundly interesting a thought. The TV show The Strain, for instance, shows how the infected return… Continue reading

    Memories

    Dear memories, how dare you stalk my past, shackle my thoughts to your smile, and then ground my mistakes into a trembling apology as if anyone escapes history. Continue reading

    You Can’t Leave…

    You can’t leave me not now not ever not while my kiss is in your bloodstream and not when your tongue has danced on the insides of my mouth not when your teeth have carved “I luv u’s” on my heart like hieroglyphic images to remember when were far apart from each other like long… Continue reading

    Struggle

Everything in nature grows and struggles in its own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost, against all resistance.” – Rainer Maria Rilke   What I love most about this quote is that struggle is such a powerful teacher. It passes… Continue reading

    Did YOU Know? ….. National Sunday Law

    The streets are empty of people, and the grocery stores void of movement. The people seemed to have vacated the Earth; perhaps they have residence on the moon. (I wonder if it really does taste like cheese.) The automobiles have stopped dragging their tires to the next corner for fear of being arrested, disassembled and… 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.
