For Rose – A Story in a Single Image

The city never afforded her body the chance to be this intimately part of creation in the way to which her eyes were now experiencing. The sun danced splashes of yellows on her skin and the light immersed her body into the landscape. Forty-two acres of earth welcomed Chelsea until her eyes were not big… Continue reading

Social Media Intelligence: Why Your Boss is Reading Your Blog

I was reading my scriptures when I decided to check my phone (a habit I’m trying to kick.) As I did so, I saw a post that struck my attention.

No Wonder Your Post Only Got 5 Likes

Before I shut down for the weekend I have to share this. I’m sitting here going through some of my older posts (the ones with 0-5 likes) and my tagging is just sad. Like, it doesn’t even make any sense. I love looking back on my work and seeing where I can improve. So, here’s… Continue reading

You Have the Right to Write

Attention: You Have the Right to Write or anything you don’t say will drive you crazy by intense desire.

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.
