    7 Reasons I Stopped Promoting my Books so much on Social Media

    Note: This is just my personal experience and has nothing to do with anyone else. I must also note that I do believe some promotion is necessary.

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.
