read at Cambridge yesterday with the amazing Rachel Long and spoke about Black women poet artists like Maud Sulter who came before us and how we must continue to uplift their names in their wake. then again later at a Caribbean supper club, breaking bread and sharing work from Derek Walcott and @safiyasinclair alongside my own, in the company of @bayan_bdg, an embodiment of love. feeling very supported, which is what it’s all about. shoutout to that loving circle of mystic sister friends who aren’t the cherries but the cake itself, reminding you of your name & to never play small or dim your light, or lower your worth. 📸: @bayan_bdg
