Rebirths & Reclamations
It is in the radical act of reintroducing oneself where rebirth and resurrection is possible. Through the works of Lauryn Hill and Lucille Clifton, we engage in introspective writing to reexamine our current realities and abandon the attributes of ourselves bounded to survival.
