Reflecting on the Soul Cries Poetry Showcases

Sometimes I forget the things that I am made of

I forget the fire in my belly

I’ve swallowed so much trying to put it out 

I forget the sound of my voice

And how it felt to scream fire

I forget that I am a Child of God 

The daughter of Joseph

Then the lava bubbles up in my stomach

And I am reminded

I will always do what I have always done

Back during my days at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), I was feeling incredibly frustrated. It seemed like black voices were being drowned out on campus, so I took matters into my own hands and created the Soul Cries poetry showcase.

The first event was "Breaking Silence," followed by "Society Kills," and then "Caged Bird," all revolving around themes of silence, confinement, and isolation. As a broke college student struggling academically, this endeavor was my beacon of hope.

Against my family's advice, I chose to attend UofM, which led to a lot of internal conflict. The racial climate there during my sophomore year was tumultuous, highlighted by a riot when Obama won the election. It was a tough time, and Soul Cries was my response.

Looking back, I question my choice of imagery (using photos of white women with taped mouths) but it was what resonated with my message. Through this process, I learned to organize, collaborate with local artists, and forge lifelong friendships with poets.

I'm incredibly proud of my younger self for being so creative and brave, even in moments of doubt. Soul Cries became a space not just for me, but for others too. My friends carried on the legacy after I left, and that fills my heart with pride.

The reason this set and editorial came together was to prove that vinyl windows could be shown in a beautiful manner. Luckily, I was able to shoot the set twice. Once for product representation and once for the editorial which are the shots featured here. Swipe to see the overall shot. // Anything can look better with the right elements. And not everything has to be expensive to look aspirational. So many times the budget is wasted on the wrong elements. The heavier trim and vertical shiplap created a beautiful space that would add value to any home. // Space is an interesting creative element. What is there is important and what is not there is equally as important. Configuring elements can make or break a composition. #creatingspaces #interiordesign #interiordesigners #mninteriordesign #mninteriordesigners #editorial #showmeyourstyled #decorcrushing #myoklstyle #minnstagram #minneapolisrealestate #minneapolisdesigner #minneapolisinteriordesign #mndesigner #finditstyleit #thatsdarling #livethelittlethings #flashesofdelight #alwayscreating #theeverygirl #fromwhereistand #housegoals #bstyle #bstyledesign @pellawindows #porchdecor #porch #bstyle #bstyled @_tnehottephoto_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CcAuY0oLcH4/?utm_medium=tumblr

⠀ How do you create a healing environment? 🌴⠀ ⠀ I delight my senses choosing smells that calm me. ⠀ I decorate my space with flowers.⠀ I choose colors that excite me. ⠀ I display my art for more inspiration.⠀ I take advantage of the natural light and the landscape surrounding me. Sometimes I play music, most of times I don’t. The silence helps me find my own pace and my own thoughts, but it’s not often that I get to hear the perfectly orchestrated sounds of the wild as the background music to inspire me while I create. And, I always keep my hula hoop handy just in case I need to release any tension or unwanted energy. ⠀ ⠀ Art is healing because it forces you to forge a connection between your mind & your body, so your spirit shines through.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #JungleJournals @Mereba 💜⠀ ⠀ #CreatingSpaces⠀ #palosanto #birdsofparadise #orchids⠀ #yellow #oranges #reds #naturaltones⠀ #jewelry #dreamcatchers #art #hulahoops⠀ ⠀ #ArtasMedicine⠀ #ilovehulanation @ilovehulanation⠀ ⠀ 📸 @lady.carr ⠀ Bungalow @caribbeanrentalscr (at Playa Chiquita, Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_-CFsslW1J/?igshid=1ulb8hiqsuu7r
