Back when we used to gather... I had the opportunity to share my story of becoming... becoming Poet Laureate of Albuquerque... becoming comfortable with myself (& my insecurities)... becoming love. This was the end of #BlackHistoryMonth two weeks before social distancing became the new normal. But there was so much love in this room... “Love, however that hits you.”

Thank you Raashan Ahmad for being lover and a writer, hermano. He’s such a talent. Check him out if you haven’t. But here he is using his career, sweat, effort and art as a platform for others. Mad love.

Once we can come together again, I encourage you to check out his hopefully resuming series “I Got A Story To Tell” ... or as I affectionately refer to is... The Black Moth.

Shout out to Rebel Media on the videography!
