Vulnerably Black is a lyrical exploration of Blackness in its fullest, richest forms: joy and grief, pride and tenderness, resilience and vulnerability. This collection is not a manifesto, nor a call to action, but a celebration of what it means to exist in Black skin: to carry the weight of ancestry, to honor the rituals of community, to find God in movement and song, and to embrace the sacredness of one's own body and spirit. Through intimate first-person poetry, readers are invited into kitchens, salons, barbershops, HBCU halls, Sunday services, and quiet bedrooms, where Black life unfolds…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Vulnerably Black is a lyrical exploration of Blackness in its fullest, richest forms: joy and grief, pride and tenderness, resilience and vulnerability. This collection is not a manifesto, nor a call to action, but a celebration of what it means to exist in Black skin: to carry the weight of ancestry, to honor the rituals of community, to find God in movement and song, and to embrace the sacredness of one's own body and spirit. Through intimate first-person poetry, readers are invited into kitchens, salons, barbershops, HBCU halls, Sunday services, and quiet bedrooms, where Black life unfolds in rhythm, texture, and color. From the soft warmth of love to the unapologetic assertion of identity, each poem is a story, a memory, a hymn. An act of reclamation, reflection, and reverence. This collection embraces the many voices of Black experience: the humor, the tenderness, the ancestral knowledge, the quiet faith, the rebellion, the sensuality, and the resilience that sustains. It is a testament to the beauty, the complexity, and the sacredness of being Black and alive. Vulnerably Black is for anyone who has ever carried the echoes of generations in their bones, for anyone learning to hold pride and vulnerability in one hand, and for anyone ready to witness the intimate, unapologetic poetry of Black life.
Autorenporträt
Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
