The Yonder Years — Home

This week’s blog is inspired by You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi and all the lovely food descriptions in the book. But also, this comes from a personal place — hint all the self-inserts — of coping with my anxiety. …

The Vulnerability of Black Women

This blog post was supposed to come out the week that Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan was released. But I could not bring myself to write it due to my constant battle with anxiety, which stifled my creative spirit. The end of the semester affected my mental health…

Meeting the Legend that Birth Bloodmarked

“Publishing in the way that I have perhaps makes me an author, but it didn’t make me a writer,” the inspirational, motivating words flowed from Tracy Deonn’s mouth during her Bloodmarked Release Day event in Chapel Hill. To say it was an honor to be in the same space as…

Being a Capricorn Isn’t Always Fun

“What are you gonna do when you can no longer seek academic validation?” my 11th-grade English teacher asked me during a random conversation. Where this man got the audacity to ask such a question, I don’t know. I’m more than sure he meant it as a joke. …

Open Letter to My Black Forefathers and Mothers

Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson did so many things to my mind and soul. Some things I am still processing and can’t even speak on, but I can tell you that I’ve never been more appreciative of my black forefathers and mothers. The same week that Nelson joined our…

I Am an Imperfect Black Girl and So Is My Main Character
