How to Swim
But swimming, like loving, is not just about knowing.

Beguiling Box
This poem delves into the insecurities that people face when they imagine what their metaphorical “box” may have inside.
The Song They Wrote
I contort your words / inside out until / they are mangled. / I can’t use syllables, / sound siphoned.
"I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay."
— Tracee Ellis Ross
