Life
Grade School Dickinson
I must have been around eight when I wrote my first poem. At least, the first poem I can remember writing. There was a bunny and a snowman and it was complete with an artistic crayon interpretation. I’m sure my Mother even has it stored somewhere for safekeeping. I loved to rhyme, and I’m sure there were poems that came before this one I remember the most. There have been a literal hundreds of poems since then, I can state that with absolute confidence.

Legacy and generational impact

For over a decade, she had graced the pitch as the stalwart of the Canadian women's soccer team. Her dedication, resilience, and unyielding spirit had carried her team through victories and defeats alike. But as the Women's World Cup approached, Sarah knew that this tournament would be her swan song.

4 Long Years As A Vocal Writer
I started my eventful writing relationship with Vocal four years ago, and I’m truly happy that I did. As I reflect on why I’m here, I remember that I wanted this to be a space where I could be vulnerable, honest, and even if I didn’t win any cash I’d at least get to express myself in a way that I don’t feel as comfortable to in other spaces as a Black man. So, as I read through the many different prompts I’ve tackled, I admire how I followed through with writing pieces that I felt wouldn’t win but were still necessary to write. Whether they would be viewed as too political, too Black, too sad, or too different. I also admire that my writing has never been flagged, and I’ve never felt discouraged to share my story.
