    About this ebook

    Drums in Our Veins is a collection of poems that explore spirituality and identity through the lenses of African Ancestors and the realities of African descendant people living in these modern times. Written to the beat of life’s drum, these poems are described as “resistance poetry” by the author. A great read for anyone who is inspired to make social change and is passionate about justice and equality as well as those looking to be advocates and allies. Drums In Our Veins will take you on an emotional journey of the black global experience, while nurturing your spirit and purpose.
