Ode to My Sisters

This collection of poetry is an unapologetic celebration of Black women. Our mothers, aunts, sisters and friends. The women who put the soul in our food and seasoned it with love. The mothers who pack our bags and carry us in their hearts. It is an acknowledgment of our fears and insecurities. It is a recognition of our strength and resilience as Black women. It is a testament to our influence and brilliance as mothers, aunts, sisters, friends, trailblazers, innovators, lovers, warriors and survivors. It is a respectful rumination on our beauty and our worth. Our value and our humanity. It is my ode to my sisters.--Monica Fountain
