Welcome to my poetry page!
In Solidarity.
I was asked by the organisers of Calgary’s Racial Justice Conference to do a Land Acknowledgement. I used poetry to share my feelings of being here on Indigenous Land as an immigrant and as a Black woman. This poem is about my feeling about Black people being welcome by Indigenous Communities and how we need to stand with them when they are calling for us to do so. How being on this land means a responsibility to answer that call without question.
Don’t Touch me
This poem is one of my most powerful. Nobody should be touched without permission. This came from the experience of a woman being touched by men without consent their whole life.
Words Matter
Words are just words
"It's not that deep"
But check the dictionary and you'll discover they have meaning.
