Jamila Woods Quotes
It's important to immerse myself in one thing at a time to do it well, but I could never do one thing only. I will always be a poet and a singer, because I'm interested in bending genres and pushing boundaries of what is considered a poem, what is considered a song.

The source of my fiction is the desire to understand people and their choices through time.
