Testify:
don’t just swallow what you see
open your eyes
raise your voice
tell your story…
I have a new poem up at MasticadoresUSA today: please head over there to continue reading. Many thanks to editor Gabriela for continuing to publish and support my work.
This poem fits well with the themes of the anthology Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women, which I am working hard to have ready for publication next month. I am trying my best to keep up with reading and commenting, but do bear with me at this busy time! Thank you once again to everyone who is supporting the project and continuing to spread the word about this exciting new publication.

Such a powerful and impactful piece. Truly enjoyed.💕
