Something about literature, art, and poetry is that it can be reckless. It is freedom, non attachment. You're not bound to rules; you just express while connecting beautifully to the detachment.

Hey there, I’m Jennifer Aliu-Kadiri. I care deeply about advocating for the basic human rights of people who are systemically marginalized—intersex people, persons with disabilities, and the queer community. I’m a Pan-African feminist, a mental health advocate, and proudly neurospicy human.
