Jumia Books If My Bones Could Speak

In the name of my mother,
My grandmothers,
Their mothers,
Their co-wives;
Whose dreams were watered down for the sake of children,

Whose tongues were cut,
So their voices died in their throats;
Whose wounds were hidden,
So we could know what bravery is.

If My Bones Could Speak is a neatly woven poetry anthology of 86 diverse-themed poems; breaking free, womanhood, childhood traumas, generational imprints, culture, rebelling against societal norms, friendship, family, love, self-acceptance, identity, etc. The poems beg these questions: Who are you? Are you happy with yourself, without shrinking to fit in? What are these feelings you harbor inside you, that make you tremble when you speak?
