Kweku's Cypher: (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the stillness of the night, she looks across her bedroom with tears flowing down her eyes, as sleep avoids her yet again. A mixture of confusion and regrets from yesterday combined with anxiety for the days yet to come. A quiet conversation begins with her: who have I become? She doesn’t hate herself, but she recognizes there are unrealized dreams that she knew her future would hold that have yet to manifest. Like a flash of lightning, an emotional epiphany awakens her spirit. The eureka mome
Kweku's Cypher: The Cake Didn’t Bake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every September 3rd, I write a poem to my stillborn Daughter Maya Alisia Orr-Smith. Many have questioned how I could long for a child who breathed her last breath before she took her first breath. Easy, beloved. From the time we knew she was pregnant, we were excited. We prepared her older sister for the arrival of her little sister.

How do you solve a problem your enemy does not even admit is a problem? How do you fix a flawed system that is working perfectly for the status quo? "We the People" was the sentiment of the writers of the Constitution, and the people they were referring to were White men who owned land and came from Western Europe. Abigail Adams implored her husband not to forget the women in the democratic process at the beginning in 1776. They laughed at her. Now, New Jersey originally had no restrictions on g
Kweku's Cypher: The Psychology of Reparations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mind games. Gaslighting. Mental manipulation. These are all forms of psychology being used in a negative direction. The train for reparations, as we know it, sailed a long time ago. America attempted to right her wrongs immediately following the Civil War. When they assassinated Lincoln and Andrew Jackson overturned Special Field Order 15, what most of us refer to as 40 acres and a mule. In addition, they stripped the homeowning rights of the former enslaved and returned them to the very people
