Truth in words. For you who are afraid to speak your truth. For you who wish to say your story. It is okay to be different. It is okay to be you.
This is an audiobook of poetry readings by Poet Otema Yirenkyi. You could get lost in them.

With this platform, I will express myself how I know. I will embrace my culture, my Africaness, my blackness, and throw it at your face. I will make you aware of what I feel on the inside because of this ‘outside’. You might love it or you might get triggered. But you will learn, maybe not to accept me, but you might learn to accept you. I hope. [E for explicit content]
