Kareemat Adebisi
Poet • Spoken Word Artist • Truth-Teller
Kareemat's work moves through the weight of unspoken pain, the demand for overdue recognition, the radical act of building empires where none existed, and the joyful reclamation of self. Her poetry unflinchingly examines identity, history, grief, triumph, and the relentless labor—and love—of being Black.
"I write because the silence was never an option."
