The Geography of Becoming by Octavia McBride-Ahebee

Hot off the press. It’s here. I am so honored and awed that Furaha Youngblood’s work is also included in this collection. I met Furaha more than 30 years ago in Abidjan, where an extraordinary circle of women gathered monthly to write and critique one another’s work.

As part of this current project, Furaha and I contributed to The Africa Migration Report Poetry Anthology Series, which is a multi-year initiative exploring African and diasporic migration through poetry. Additionally, we are involved with Forced Migration and The Arts, an international network connecting artists, scholars, and those with lived experience to examine the intersection of forced migration and creative expression.

Here is a link if you wish to purchase the book: It is a British publisher.
