Overview

Born Owing the World is a poetic reckoning with a life that begins already in debt-to systems that never loved us, to survival that costs more than money, to silence forced on Black women who are expected to endure without breaking. These poems speak from the edge: where eviction notices become bedtime stories, where strength is demanded but never rewarded, where being poor is punished daily and quietly. This book peels back respectability, resilience, and ""being strong"" to expose the grief beneath. It is for every woman who carried what was never hers, who paid for life before she ever lived, who learned too early that survival is not free. These pages will reopen wounds-but only to remind you that you were never weak, only made to survive in a world that charged you for breathing.
