Aggies blog about the cultural representation of Black women and the literature they produce. We center the lived experience of the Black woman as represented in literature and the terms and conditions on which she projects her own agency amidst society’s denial of it. We aim to use this place as a site of valuable information, and a space to challenge traditional paradigms about the Black woman’s identity and experience.
As we made our list in class on Wednesday for "Black Women's Ways of Knowing" I could not help but think about this spoken word piece. In the context of the list, I feel that she is Signifying, and I think the poem is a result of Self-Exploration. This poem is powerful. What makes it even more dope is the fact that the guy it is about was in the audience and she stares him down as she performs. Nevertheless, I hope everyone enjoys the piece.
