Hey there 👋 I know I've been inconsistent with putting out podcast episodes, but I've been trying to stay safe and sane out here because this coronavirus is no joke! In today's episode, I check-in with the fam (you lol 😂) and share a poem titled "Freedom". I also shout out two dope podcasts- @therapyforblackgirls & @thegirlslockerroompodcast so PLEASE check them out on Instagram. Last but not least, I need your questions!!!!! DM the podcast page on Instagram @poetryisthedeathofmepodcast with your questions/comments.

It's Saturday! We meet once again! In this episode, I introduce TWO new segments- Quote of the Day & Podcast Plug because why not? I also share my one of my favorite poems called "Cranes in the Sky" which is inspired by Solange Knowles's song from her Seat at the Table album. But get this- I need your help! Listeners please send me your questions and I'll answer them in next week's episode. Be safe everyone because it's alot going on right now but while you're inside please enjoy!

In this episode, I introduce a new segment of the podcast where I break down/dissect the poem from the prior episode. You'll get the break down of "Fate"- the poem and the story of why poetry is the death of me (be honest- you were curious 👀). So sit back and enjoy while I embarrass myself 😂 we could all use the laugh.

I love listening to podcasts and I've always wanted my own so I figured I'd try it out. Sounds pretty simple huh? It's probably not that simple, but please bear with me on my podcast journey! Let's start out with a bang (or a poem)! This poem was written this past week and it's titled "Fate". Please don't judge me! Enjoy!
