Reflecting on a Profound Moment...

Last night was ✨phenomenal✨—a joyous celebration of my book launch, filled with love, inspiration, and cherished memories. Today, I reflect on another monumental moment—one year ago.

Benjamin Obadiah Iqbal Zephaniah 🕊️

'The day I submitted my debut poetry book coincided with the day you departed. The week before, I had re-visited your enchanting creations and reminisced about your visit to my junior school.

The reverberations of your performances and reading your words from "Talking Turkeys" opened my eyes as an impressionable child, and inspired me. Just like countless others you influenced, you helped fuel my passion for sharing and performing poetry.

Your departure was heart-wrenching, but your impactful life and boundless legacy endure.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. Rest in peace.'

Seeing MARVA ROLLINS, my former headteacher who introduced us to Professor Zephaniah, at my book launch last night was such a full-circle moment. My heart overflows. ❤️

Thank you @wordsofcolour for giving me the space to honour his enduring impact on wordsofcolour.co.uk.💫
