Not just a book, but a ritual.

This collection is a chorus of survival, memory, and inheritance. Written in the marrow of Black life—Chicago life—There Are Many Ways To Say Our Name moves between mental health and masculinity, street corners and classrooms, mourning and mischief. These poems confront stigma and celebration alike: the language of “ngh” and “fuckboy” becomes both critique and hymn, a way to re-name ourselves on our own terms. Through fractured forms, intimate confession, and cultural archive, this book asks what it means to be seen, what it costs to speak, and how Black boys keep singing when their names are often the first thing taken.

Sacred texts of the unknown.

on god is a love letter, a war cry, and a living archive of Black Chicago. Born from memory, intimacy, and survival, these poems reclaim the language of the streets—“on god,” “gang,” “bitch”—as sacred texts. This is a book about faith in the everyday: faith in the beauty of Blackness, in the tenderness of men, in the resilience of womyn, in the contradictions we carry. These are typewritten confessions, street psalms, and kitchen-table revelations — documenting a people too often misnamed, misunderstood, or erased. I write to remember. I write to honor. I write to be free.

Copies are limited.

A story on balance.

learning rhythm is an afro-folktale—part biomyth, part prayer, part love letter to Black masculinity in all its sacred contradiction. Born from years of journaling, this book maps a journey through trauma, tenderness, faith, and desire. Each piece is a heartbeat—honest, unfiltered, and vulnerable—bearing witness to what it means to be a Black man healing aloud in a world that often confuses survival with silence. This is a spiritual archive of the everyday, where love, grief, and memory converge to teach us how to feel again, how to listen again, how to begin again.
