  Taking a profound look at the African American experience and the far-reaching impacts of colonization and Western Civilization, this intimate relationship portrayed through poetry offers a truthful reflection that resonates not only in the United States but also throughout the diaspora. This raw and spiritual interpretation prompts the listener to contemplate and raises more questions than it answers. 
  Through a blend of poetic voice, ancestral wisdom, and spiritual discovery, How To Become The Conqueror: An African American Revelation serves as both an emotional revelation and a call to consciousness. Performed and narrated by the author, Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly, with original vocals by the sister group Holly Girlz, this audiobook delivers a stirring sonic journey that uplifts, awakens, and challenges. 
  Amsara Sekhita Mai Holly is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, actress, author, filmmaker and businesswoman. As a member of the music group and creative collective Holly Girlz, she works in deep collaboration with her sisters to produce art in many artistic and creative mediums.

With roots in performance, literature, and African traditions, Amsara’s voice carries the weight of history and the fire of transformation. 
  This debut audiobook is more than a collection of poetry, it is a ritual, a mirror, and a movement through rhythm. With How To Become The Conqueror, Amsara steps into the role of both witness and warrior, using her voice to explore the spiritual and psychological terrain of the African American experience with an unflinching gaze - using the spoken word as medicine, revolution and reverence. For those ready to reclaim, remember, and rise, this audiobook offers a sacred beginning.

  The Flame of Her Will is an erasure of the Malleus Maleficarum, a text long used to justify witch-hunts. The poems in this collection invert and subvert the original text, paring away the misogyny and hatred until what is left is a lost woman's voice, challenging a history that requires her silence.

  Loss-iLahleko (A National Choreopoem): The Audio Experience invites you on a heartfelt journey of loss and return. This audio adaptation brings the choreopoem from the full-length book Loss-iLahleko (A National Choreopoem) to life, offering a deeply moving literary and sonic experience. 
  The full-length book is a richly layered work with four parts: a multilingual choreopoem exploring loss through songs and poems by South African female authors in Indigenous languages and English; short South African stories reflecting the lived experiences of countless women and children, including Finding Katlego and Palesa's Lockdown Escape by Elaine Pillay, Elo Phupho by Bulelwa Sigcau, and Fizza by Qhali; motivational reminders offering hope; and key information on Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Each piece sensitively weaves forms of GBV into a tapestry of voices that speak to resilience, suffering, and healing. 
  This audiobook immerses listeners in the vivid worlds of the choreopoem, seamlessly moving between English and South Africa’s Indigenous languages. It reflects the resilience, trauma, and strength of women and children while echoing the languages of their mothers, bearing witness to the persistent uncertainty and lack of security in the land they call home. 
  Loss-iLahleko is SA’s first multilingualised book series on GBV, written and translated into 11 books by extraordinary South African female writers in all the country’s official languages. To explore the full book, visit the publisher’s website. 
  Trigger Warning: This experience includes themes of GBV which may be distressing for some listeners. Please listen with care.

  This Audiobook collection therapeutic poetry ( Book 1 of 3 ) of his REFLECTION SERIES that marked the beginning of Stephens’ literary journey. As soon as you hear, the narrator‘s voice, an army veteran himself, his highs and his lows don’t just read words they tell the story the way it should be told . A raw reflection and survival, The Mirror: Black Edition confronts trauma, PTSD, and resilience through verse. Each poem acts as a mirror, inviting readers to confront their own scars while discovering the strength to endure. If this Audiobook can help one person in the dark or in silence, then it was worth every cent I spend creating this vision.  Thank you for taking the time to sample or purchase.  
  Thank you
