Poems like these flow as a result of a global quarantine. While the world was under lockdown, and we were all told we were safer at home, Majeeda was churning out poems and recording them in her closet. The outcome is her latest album, “Wedding Invitation” – a blend of spoken word poetry, music, and dramatic sound effects. The album tells a story woven into a tapestry of love, with scenes at times depicted through the eyes of the poet. ​Throughout the album runs the theme of the woman, faithfulness, unfaithfulness, strength and determination, the allegory of the bride, and ode to Bridegro ..read more

As National Poetry Month comes to a close, I reflect on what this month has been for me and for poetry. This year, poetry has continued its global and multigenerational reach. As a poet, it thrills me to see a deeper appreciation for poetry among all age groups around the world. I have had the great privilege of meeting other poets through performing and through social media. This month was filled with lots of activities celebrating poets and their work. I am overjoyed to have met more contemporaries both online and in person. This is especially important as an educator. Students tend to dista ..read more

As we commemorate another Earth Day, we should consider Earth’s future. Sometimes, environmentalists make it seem like it’s all gloom and doom for the Earth. However, just the opposite is true. Earth has a brighter future than is being propagated. The planet has a makeover in its future! Mankind has not always been kind to this planet but there is hope. It is true, that we have misused Earth’s resources. It’s true, we’re reaping the results of industrial pollution in the atmosphere, dumping in the oceans and on land. It’s true, we have neglected this planet. It is true, we were given this Eart ..read more

As we celebrate Black History Month, I can’t help but think about those who fought for freedom and equality; those who spent their lives advocating freedom. I think of Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Martin Luther King, Paul Bogle of Jamaica, Desmond Tutu of South Africa, and countless others who sought a better world of justice and equity. It is no doubt that the Creator guided these leaders. Some of the things they accomplished were without doubt direct interventions from the Almighty. What’s even more evident of Providence guiding these freedom fighters, is their acknowledegment of Him whe ..read more

Jesus? A disturber of public peace? It hit me as I pondered lines from one of my poems and latest release. “He was proclaimed a disturber of public peace,” the line reads. Why did I include that? I thought. Is that even valid? I almost panicked because the poem was set to music and due for official release the next day. “Isn’t Jesus the Prince of Peace?” I thought as I did a quick online search. Didn’t He say, “Blessed are the peacemakers?” I literally breathed a sigh of relief as I saw several hits in response to my search. “Jesus, a disturber of public peace.” I read through the many search ..read more

Every bride looks forward to her wedding day and having a beautiful dress to wear is part of what makes the day extra special. The wait can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. This poem depicts a fiancée who writes a love letter to her Bridegroom. She explains how the waiting is feeling and that she is going to remain faithful until He returns on the wedding day. The television show “Say Yes to the Dress” shows eager brides and their loved ones looking for the best fitting and most gorgeous dress for the future bride to wear on her wedding day. It takes a lot of trying on and showing accomp ..read more

I recently had the privilege of being interviewed by TV host, Dr. Esther Malave on her program Achieving a Better U on RVN Television. It was truly a pleasure. I met Esther on Instagram and we established a connection. We discussed some of my poetry, my inspiration to write, as well as some background information about me and what’s in the pipeline for the near future. Esther shows these two poems that she owns at the start of the interview, and we talk about them among other things aforementioned. The poems are available in my store. Scroll down to see the interview. Beautiful Queen. Poem on ..read more

Free music download at the end of this post. Recently I have become even more dissatisfied with social media. First of all, I really don’t have time to post all the time, and the real benefit goes to the owners of the platforms. The onset of the algorithm to each platform changes everything and serious creators who are also entrepreneurs have to promote their posts to get engagement. I can understand that somewhat, but it’s a very unfair advantage for creators. Sure, I’ve made a few connections and sales on social media but I find that creating posts frequently is really a time thief. Yes, I h ..read more
