I was going to title this book Spoken Word Necessity because I feel speaking aloud is necessary. I thought it was perfect since this is a book of poetry. Although the title describes my book, it does not capture my image. Spoken Word Necessity gives us an opportunity to speak, but what about? We can talk about love, mistakes, lessons, blessings, progression, regression, happiness, sadness, despair, encouragement, any and all things that can't be suppressed. I am speaking out loud about evolving. This book of poetry demonstrates life experiences from which lessons were learned. I inadvertently put what I needed in the universe within my poetry and have had those needs come to fruition. Queenism is whatever greatness and growth you want it to be in your life. For me, queenism is the ability to manifest before time (BT) what is nourishing for a lifetime. This rhythmic collection of thoughts and emotions are presented in a soft and raw but honest manner. They display growth of a young African American girl into a spiritually inclined mother, wife and developed woman , truly showing that we are all a work in progress. Nonetheless, spoken words are necessary for evolving into something great. Evolution into Queenism is my journey to being the best me.
