Today someone reminded me of how my social media blew up eight years ago when I was quoted on the show CRIMINAL MINDS (this was the moment when a lot of folks in my community said, "Oh, he's a REAL writer," heh).
So here's the poem that the writers pulled lines from, "Kintsukuroi."

Lucille Clifton’s “won’t you celebrate with me” is the poem I reach for the most as I move through the world finding joy and breaking generational curses.
I remind myself that “i made it up” when I stumble building a life I’ve never seen.

Happy new year!
I love sharing this poem by @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social.
I’m reminded this year of Audre Lorde: “These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; they have survived and grown strong through darkness.”
