      Peep Tha Intro

      Face Tha Fiyah is a collection of selected poems I wrote between 1992 and 2002.  Now it's 2014.  The words I wrote then are still relevant and speak to issues that remain with us – poverty, racism, racial identity, self-hate, and the pursuit of power, justice, and equality.

      Face Tha Fiyah is not just a collection of poems.  It’s an experience.  It’s a journey into the intense world of Black Life in America.

      I AM Naaya.

      Thank you for taking this journey with me.
