POETRY

My poem “The Finale” was written a while ago around the end of January. I would say the one thing that has truly inspired me was realizing that I’m going to see a female Black vice-president in my lifetime. I mention Kamala Harris in my poem along with some other leaders who inspire me. So as the inauguration rolled around, I was just reflecting on everything that has happened within my community; the pain, the victory, but most importantly the future. The next generation has time to change things if we believe we can, so it will be. Once I started typing it up I didn’t stop and thus “The Finale.”
