  • “Being Human” is one of the first poems I ever channeled, and one of my best friends. It’s Mama Nature holding a loving mirror to our humanness.
    I'm breath-given by this exquisite video and music production by the folx at EarthxStudios to celebrate the launch of ALL WE CAN SAVE - a powerful anthology of essays + poems + art by women climate leaders. I hope it kisses your heart in these immensely heartbreaking times!!
    I’m honored to be one of 60 contributors to ALL WE CAN SAVE alongside Alice Walker, Joy Harjo, Mary Oliver, Marge Piercy, Patricia Smith, adrienne maree brown & so many more brilliant voices! A mighty chorus sharing truth, courage, and solutions for the climate crisis, curated by Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson & Dr. Katharine K. Wilkinson via One World Books / Penguin Random House.

    "Being Human" was first published by Whit Press in 2014 in CLIMBING POETREE, a collection of 70 poems by Alixa & Naima.

    Self-doubt has been hammering on my being for the past months, always questioning myself if I am giving and doing enough at work and at home. Thank you for your poem. I believe God meant for me to stumble upon these very words tonight. He has spoken to me through your poem and assured me that I am enough. Thank you! 💜

    I stumbled upon someone reading a verse on Tik Tok and searched for the original, did not realize this was s created so recently. I made a journal for a friend as a gift and provided a copy inside, the energy is radiant and intuitive. I read this myself on a website, and only when I heard you read it did the flow fit so well. You are wonderful

    I discovered your poem in the book All We Can Save. I immediately fell in love with it, sat down and read it, while playing my octave mandolin. Seemingly of its own accord, the poem just channeled itself right into rhythm and melody, filling me and my instrument full of joy. Thank you, Naima!

    This is important. It's so deep and so true, so calming. there's no reason to feel insecure and unsure and stuff. We are just like everything else, a part of this world and all we need to do is be.
