Publisher Marketing: POWER OF OUR WOMBS is an ode, a tribute, and honor work. Its my mirror work to go back and fetch- infant me. Its my personal responsibility towards Sankofa. I hope these poems elucidate or better yet sing both the gospel and the blues of my entrance and when Im gone, my legacy. Knowing the power of our wombs, the homes Ive had, has finally made me proud of my origin story. These stories are turning the loss and grief, the abandonment and isolation, the distrust, the shame, from dirty pain to clean pain. I’ve come to accept these experiences as the other face, the agreement of love and for love. This book is for youth of rage, the parent, the social worker and even the lawmaker. Its for the long awaited conversation at the dining table, its for families reuniting.
