¿Quién te enseñó a poner bozal a tu alma? - estancia chica en voz alta negro Si te parece bien, me gustaría plantar para siempre en tus manos Me gustaría descubrir la eternidad en tus brazos hacer un hogar de tu corazón ​ -si te parece bien, ya me he enamorado ¿Quién llora por las chicas negras? ​ -cuando sea fuerte es el único salmo que aprendió orar Quién llora por las chicas negras ​ ​ ​ que llora por las negras / que llora por las negras, cuando el silencio ha cierra sus conductos lagrimales cuando sé fuerte es da único salmo que aprendió a orar buscando su voz en los perdidos y encontrados / ​ OMS llora por las chicas negras / empujado al silencio aguantando nuestras lenguas esperando nuestro turno / quien llora por chicas negras avergonzado de su reflejo blanqueado su espejo médula ósea blanca / quien llora por chicas negras ​ se le arrancó la lengua de la boca, su dialecto metido en la garganta de una muñeca de ojos azules le dijo que parecía Betta con su lengua, ingenio mis caderas, el ingenio de mi tía y el estilo de su mamá / que llora por las negras ​ porque las chicas negras desaparecieron en el viento y las tiraron a los contenedores de basura, no el dia de ayer o las noticias de mañana / quien llora por negro chicas cuando las mariposas que una vez se alinearon en su estómago son robadas dejando atrás da gusanos de tíos, primos, hombres, amantes que se pudren en sus entrañas / que llora por chicas negras ​ que no saben llorar por sí mismos entrenando sus lágrimas sus pulmones para respirar por sí mismos han sido jadeando jadeando jadeando por todos los demás / que no saben cómo pedir ayuda ¿qué ayuda a una chica negra? ​ cuántos ríos se han formado en la ribera de nuestros ojos / cuántos ríos han corrido en nuestro tocayo / cuántos mares has poblado con lágrimas para mí / cuántas alertas, cuántos gritos, cuántas jodidas, Cuantos campañas cuantas guerras se han librado en nuestro honor / quien llora por las chicas negras Me he tragado muchos secretos mi estómago se revuelve desnutrido de vergüenza esperando el alimento de la verdad / para regurgitar esta vergüenza en la boca de aquellos que el pájaro me la dio. ​ - esta vergüenza no es tuya para que la guardes To fling my arms wide/ under aquamarine skies/ to chase fireflies whirl dance laugh scream/ till afternoon gently kisses me goodbye/ then rest at cool evening/ my mama’s arms wrap me up like an old willow tree/ while night comes on gently dark and starry-eyed like me- That is my dream ​ -Dream variations of a Black Girl

Le'ianna Nicole Artist Email: leiannagladden@yahoo.com Date of Birth: Sept 20 Virgo INFJ Hi, It's Me! I'm Le'ianna Nicole, a southern Black Woman storyteller currently residing in Charlotte, NC. I'm a lover of nature, words, Black Culture, beaches, astrology, chicken wings, and art! I'm a multifaceted artist engaging in devised theatre, filmmaking, poetry, and photography. Through my art, I seek to intimately explore the lived experiences of Black Women across the Afro-Diaspora and contribute to our collective healing. Through my exploration, my goal is to uncover and critique systems of oppression, make connections across cultures within the diaspora and create ways of healing and liberation. I hope that women will leave my work feeling seen and empowered to do the necessary work, whatever that work may look like for them, to live a free-er life. When I'm not creating art you can catch me dreaming of more "things I imagined" out in nature somewhere or laughing at twitter!
