It is impossible to prepare for the awesome power of Siaara Freeman, mistress of craft, presence, and the very realest of all real talk. -- The Boston Poetry Slam

For years Siaara Freeman, beloved poet, hoodwitch & body-poz activist, has used radical self-portraits to document grief and joy in real-time. Here, a collection of selfies and affirmations are presented as proper medicine for our beleageured hearts, because there is nothing more empowering than a Black woman providing the world opportunities to witness the entire spectrum of her boldest, brightest living. -- Rachel McKibbens, two-time New York Foundation for the Arts poetry fellow The misconception that if one is fearless, then they must believe themselves to be invincible, is shattered inside the science that Siaara Freeman navigates. Siaara is all too familiar with the break and splinter and finality, and yet she runs into its gawking existence. Not because life isn't precious, but because life is fickle, and she doesn't have time for its indecision. #goodmorning #hoodwarning is a grandmother's quilt sewn together with icepicks, an unabashed look into a woman that has stared down inevitability and called its bluff. As I thumb through this collection, I see a cauldron of laughter ready to spill and the bravado of a new country in her often-captured smile, alongside the vulnerability and unease fighting inside of the same vessel. This a roadmap towards want and distance and language and beauty, despite it all. -- Will Evans, Black Nerd Problems editor-in-chief It is impossible to prepare for the awesome power of Siaara Freeman, mistress of craft, presence, and the very realest of all real talk. -- The Boston Poetry Slam
