Kayla Black

Delivered onto the unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ. Origins from the shores of the Anishinaabe. I am born into the collective. In a time when water heals the people. Where old growth seeps into grandmother’s words. When the rivers form our connections. Unadulterated to colonial structures. All my fears drift away because,

Niin Anishinaabekwe
Niin E-ikwewi
Niin Ogimaakwe
Niin Kayla Black
Niin wiiii Giinawaa

I am Anishinaabe
I am Sapphic
I am Leader
I am Kayla Black
I am with you
