    Since I heard this, almost every news story I see or hear makes me say, "We are SO bad." 😢 "The eye of a hurricane now a safer refuge than this goverment knowing your name."

    In my country until the poem has humour in it, the poet doesn't get applause. ... I can't say Ghana but that's my country.

    I just saw you perform this in Portland and I burst into tears when you talked about the little girl.

      Andrea uses "they/them" pronouns but yes! They are amazing.

    Andrea, I just found you today. You've help me cry cleansing tears and renew some hope. Thank you, you are a great treasure to this world.
    Have left a few comments. I read on your "about me" here on yt that you are FOR gun reform. I haven't come across any of your videos that discuss your view (yet) & was trying to hold this comment until I did but this video seems appropriate to do so. I hope what everyone realizes is that gun reform generally makes things more difficult for those consenting to the legal system & following those statutes. Criminals will still be criminals. Our 2nd ammendment is what keeps will protect us from our ever increasing tyrannical government that seeks to compartmentalize and further divide us all more and more every day. They do so BECAUSE the day that we unite will be the mark of the end of their reign.
    Much love to you. Hope you are feeling better & that we'll get another health update soon. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

    I was wondering that I haven't heard a new poem since so long. Well, here it is. And it's as always one of those amazing ones where you first give that smile and then burst into tears. Thank you. Thank you so much Andrea.

    I found you because of your poem Orlando, and you have changed my life. You change my life every day. I listen to your words and somehow the terror and sadness lessens just to little bit. I have nearly all your poems memorized. I look up to you so much. I wish I could share my words a easily with the world like you do. When you are feeling better if you ever come to Chicago, I will be in the front row watching my favorite poet ever. Jw, are you affiliated with Ani DiFranco? I could have sworn I saw her name on one of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing so much of yourself with us if you ever feel discouraged that you're not changing the world you've changed the world for this girl right here thank you so much.
