I recently purchased a book called "Izou- (Savior)"written by Izuo-Ere "Mimi" Digifa. She wrote this book during her incarceration, and you can really feel the raw emotion that will leave you appreciating the strength of women who face the judicial system and come our stronger on the other side. Through her self- published book  Izuo- (Savior), she shares a collection of poetry encompassing the totality of many human life experiences from imprisonment, threat of deportation, isolation, betrayal, heartbreak and love. It is an expression, through the art of writing, that is fueled by creativity and a passion for words. The rawness of her poems’ versatility is the art. Let her vulnerability give you strength.

To learn more about the Author she is also the founder and CEO of Flolango cosmetic line, an artist, and  is a member of the 2020 cohort of the Speakers Bureau and a graduate of the 2020 class of the Pivot Program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business. Izuo-Ere is also a graduate of the University of Lynchburg with a bachelor's in Communication Studies. You can learn more about her poetry and art  here and her makeup line here.
