“i have seen myself through.” C.M. Burroughs
gratitude to the ancestors (for everything), @baadbronx for the support, & my sisters for the life we give each other @_on_saturn_ | catch us again in January for @utrfest
I would run out of characters trying to tell you what the folks in this photo mean to me. Leslie, you are so undeniably brilliant and loved. Thank you for allowing me witness to this FAB celebration of your work. Also, these poets!! I love you all, let’s share many a meal please—
(this is where I usually start crying and he laughs because I stay crying)
Phillip, thank you for the absolute bounty that is your friendship. You root for me, you hold me accountable, you hold space for me to be vulnerable (& subsequently shake it the hell off). I am so, so grateful we get to walk this path together.
Birthday twin Maya, I will NEVER get over this book. Thank you for your kindness & hilarity & brilliance &&&—
Shoutout to Madisen, @ptknitwear, & all who came to celebrate 💙

After a fabulous weekend at The Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, The Living Ancestors are currently resting! Thank you so much for a wonderful and amazing set of shows, and inviting us to be a part of the 2026 BlakTinx Festival at BAAD!. And thank you for hosting us in such wonderful and caring ways. To dance with the ancestors in the space as The Living Ancestors was beyond words. Thank you so much to the technical and front of house staff at BAAD. Kamila, Mateo, and William you made our lives so easy.
Thank you MIDHEAVEN Network for helping us create our lighting and audio experience. If you liked the sound quality during our show, you have Adrian Martinez to thank for this.
Thank you so much Brian Polite for not only moderating one talkback, but both talkbacks!
Thank you, Rachel Keane for sharing these amazing photos and capturing multiple stages of the living ancestor and the SATURN project.
To the witnesses/audience in the space… You have given us a phenomenal experience to carry, be enriched by, and share. Just know you brought us to tears. Thank you. 🪐✨

We had our first photo shoot as The Living Ancestors this past weekend and it was so exciting! From painting our shoes to thrifting and creating these looks together, we had a time!
We are locked in to rehearsals preparing to share this piece at @baadbronx on October 16 & 17 at 7pm! Get your tickets and we will see you there!

new favorite shot, courtesy of my beloved @maruneboy
10/10 | 2PM | I have the *honor* of hosting @theabsentvisiblebody’s release for “within-group variance”! Leslie’s work & brilliant mind has thrilled me since my baby-poet years, and they’ve assembled a fab lineup on Saturday. Come celebrate the wonder that is this book with us 💜
10/10 | 7PM - This is a special one for me. My love for Phillip—his work, his friendship, his *impeccable* eye & shade alike—is a decade strong & knows no end. Delighted to put on my finest garment & chat with him and Maya C. Popa about their incredible new collections. Bring LIFT EVERY VOICE and IF YOU LOVE THAT LADY to your libraries, your book clubs, your craft classes—they are out here WRITING.
Doors at 6:30 & a book purchase (or $10) is your ticket. Pull up!
