Featured Book:
Black Rootedness, an anthology, is a culmination of workshops in Africa and America featuring the poets included, and shares experiences of foreigner/returnee, neo-African, borrower of phrases, and experimenter of styles that shape-and will continue to shape-the vibrant exchange between Africa and the Diaspora. Poetry is an artistic vehicle that allows this to happen with humility and pride; honesty and fear strive for a way to establish a meaningful dialogue after centuries of separation.
Available in softcover and ebook.
Be Royal:
Take the Queen Along!
Wherever you go, may Queen Elyssar of Carthage inspire you in her story of resilience, resourcefulness, and belief in a place where everyone is welcome.
Queen Elyssar heard the call to leave and build a new city, Carthage, that became a hub where cultures and people came together and sailed toward the unknown.
We celebrate all women who carry families and communities in their hearts everywhere they go, towards a brighter future. They are the link between the land and the people, the wise voice of sustainable and compassionate living.
