I Done Clicked My Heels Three Times

Inspired by The Wiz, this debut poetry collection explores a Black woman's journey from the South Side of Chicago into adulthood and self-discovery, using vivid imagery and diverse poetic forms. Through her experiences—from familiar local spots to moments of personal challenge—she confronts themes of womanhood, identity, and community. The collection reimagines Chicago not just as a place, but as a dynamic, living force that shapes her perspective on home and self.
