"Does black girl magic really mean, ‘look at how black girl hasn’t died yet’? and when she does die, what does she become, Human?"
In Black Girl, Call Home, spoken word poet Jasmine Mans delivers a powerful collection of poems exploring race, feminism, and queer identity.
Writing with urgency and vulnerability, Mans reflects on growing up in Newark, navigating adulthood, and searching for belonging in a world that often demands resilience from Black women.
Each poem moves between pain and tenderness, examining survival, identity, and the quiet act of calling oneself home.
Black Girl, Call Home is both a love letter to wandering Black girls and a reminder that healing and belonging can still be reclaimed.
