In recent years beginning in 2020 America went through a reckoning of its own creation. Having to again deal with the fact that racism is still alive and thriving in some parts of this country. In this collection of poetry we address racism from two different lenses, the first the idea of being able to express how you see someone that looks different than you and the second a poem that was difficult to write as we realize that some people are not having children out of the fear that raising a Black child could potentially result in another Black child's murder. In See we experience a Black person describing themselves as they see themselves. But within that we also here how they believe Black people are described based on the experiences that they have had with racism. Childless deals with the delicate and difficult decision that some Black people have made to not have children. Unfortunately, they are making this decision based on the fear that their child could potentially be next in this war against Black bodies that we are experiencing in America. This collection is heartbreaking and at the same time heartwarming because at the end we have to realize that we are all different, but it is the moment that we take the time to accept someone who doesn't look like us, or act like us, or represent what we represent and yet we can still look at them as someone whose life is valid and whose voice deserves to be heard. ***This collection should be performed by a Black/ African American student.
