1. stuck is my latest poem, originally written on Instagram and shared there first. I love to read (many of you already know this), and it is so easy to escape the ways of the world and my life when my head and eyes are firmly planted on the pages of a book.
There are so many places I can venture off to and a ton of characters or other people’s lives I can observe. Reading is fundamental, and I make it a point to do so regularly.
2. The Upcycled Self by Tariq (Black Thought) Trotter is the book I just finished reading on Monday, (January 15, 2024) night. For those of you who do not know, Black Thought is the frontman/lead emcee for the Legendary The Roots Crew. This book is an autobiography of his life and how he’s come to renew/reinvent/upcycle himself throughout the years.
It speaks about the losses he has experienced including both his parents, the impactful friendships he has to this very day, and why the arts were always so important to him.
It’s a page-turner with content to keep you locked in while you read. I will admit; it shifts from the past to the present and flashbacks almost ad nauseam throughout the book, but it is definitely worth the read.
