Overview

A Voice Written Through Graffiti captures the bold, unfiltered spirit of graffiti-a powerful art form that channels heritage, personal narratives, and identity.

Through the lens of an Afro-Latina author, these poems weave a rich tapestry of city life, exploring multicultural roots, family, mental health, and education. Each verse brings to life the vibrant, diverse communities that have shaped the author's journey, offering a fresh perspective on connection, resilience, and identity.
