This is amazing. I'm a poet too. Congrats Safiya! This is one of the best poetry readings yeah girl. I love rooftop poetry. Don't worry if you are from the Caribbean you feel like you aren't American but you really are like you say double American.
"Look at me, aint I a woman America?" The fact that you have to ask that means there is truly something wrong with the state the world is in. I loved the creativity you had while writing this piece. I also enjoyed the way you performed this one. You looked very comfortable on stage.
I just read her book "How to say Babylon" Great!
