Eviction Victim
Eviction Resistance
23 times and counting
"cause without equity we all at-risk"
Born from three generations of poor women
and countless generations of
colonized others
Raised children from nothing in a society
littered with jagged edges
Fought and sufferred pilgrim bred white men
in lock step with class and
race privledge
Seized education at all costs
Achieving degrees and promises to life of
supposed ease
Brought down by colonizers
Dressed as landlords and supervisors
Art is her arsenal, dreams, her breath
In a love-hate relationship with hope
A one night stand with Plans
Victim of torture
Flesh of my flesh
Mind of my mind
Conceptualist, Singer, caregiver,
Therapist and O.G. poverty scholar
Hollywood-ghetto-fabulous
Living for the ultimate minute
still to come...
