Woman. Queer. Black.

<p><em>Who would you be if you could define yourself outside of what the world tells you that you are? In </em><strong><em>Woman. Queer. Black</em></strong><em> Kameisha Jerae Hodge uses poetry to tell us exactly who she is.</em></p><p><br></p><p>In this poetic excavation we explore the universe of a woman who was raised East of the River in Washington D.C.-an area overflowing with beautiful souls trapped inside of the ugliness of capitalism anti-Blackness and poverty. With poetry topics that range from nostalgically lighting matches as a reminder of her paternal grandmother to the solemn deep wounds of heartbreak and self-discovery Kameisha uses the theme of the universe and a higher level of understanding to drive the reader to a space where single-dimensionality is nonexistent.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>Woman. Queer. Black.</em></strong> also features essays that Hodge wrote that supplements her thoughts on the various chapters in her fourth publication. This poetry book is a great gift for readers who enjoy the comparative works of Nikki Giovanni Sapphire Ntozake Shange and Maya Angelou.</p><p><br></p><p>Kameisha Jerae Hodge believes that every Black woman has a story to tell and that it should be done as professionally intentionally and unapologetically as possible.</p><p><br></p><p>As an independent publisher and the CEO and Founder of Sovereign Noir Publications Kameisha has published over 25 books for Black authors across the United States. She has also been a TEDx speaker and launched the Annual Black Women Writers Virtual Summit. Kameisha holds an MA in English and has a Certificate in Book Publishing.</p>
