Who am I
Giving a voice or adding a layer of complexity to individuals who are at their lowest points, when we, the public, meet them, is my muse. My writing is very much informed by the years I lived in various parts of Africa. My poetry, for the most part, gives voice to women who historically have not been heard: African women, women in refugee camps, women who are victims of civil war, isolated, rural women who battle such health challenges as obstetric fistula and breast cancer. More increasingly, my poetry addresses the environmental devastation created by corporate entities in the name of development.
I have blog entitled Eyes on the World. Here is the link: http://omcbride-ahebee.blogspot.com/
