The Blackness In Me

The Blackness in Me: Lessons of Life from Cleveland to Accra is a collection of intimate poetry about the author’s personal experience while being Black in America and abroad. Written from the divine feminine perspective, it contains prose that will make you laugh, make you cry, and get you stirred to action. The celebration and history of Juneteenth was in mind as Michelle collected memories of her life as an adolescent to adulthood. There is something here for everyone to enjoy. With the stroke of her pen, Michelle weaves a wonderful tapestry of a heart wrenching at times but beautiful journey through the lens of an African American woman in America who one day stepped foot on her ancestor’s land in Accra, Ghana, West Africa.
