    Movie Night Friday – REVIVAL with Harry Lennix

    Movie Night Friday is back! I come from a movie family. My aunt used to collect VHS tapes and then later, DVDs.

    Book Publishing in the Age of COVID-19

    I know some of you are wondering about the effects of the Coronavirus on the book industry. Some of you have asked if you should still publish your books.

Between Slavery and Freedom centers on Stella’s enslavement… 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.
