Now, My Perspective

Now, My Perspective is a book of poems about the Black experience, femininity, religion, belonging, and self-realization. The book is divided into three chapters, each of which documents a different phase of understanding about what it means to be a Black woman. It begins with the confusion one feels due to societal pressures, journeys into the anger that quickly bubbles upon the realization of how society treats Black women, and finally delves into ways to process that anger, landing in a place of introspection. These poems educate readers on what it means to be a Black woman living in a society that accommodates neither being Black nor being a woman. Above all, Now, My Perspective proves once again that being Black is a label, not a monolith.
