Walela Nehanda on Poetry, Reactionary Individualism & Love

Click Title to Read in Full

When you encounter people like Walela Nehanda, the idea that social media only serves self-centered interests is quickly put to rest. You can go to their page for an education on topics ranging from poetry to Black liberation and politics, to wellness and love. Walela is intentional about what they share, whether it’s about Black liberation and the self-determination of colonized people or unlearning ableism in their own ongoing battle with leukemia. No matter what, their page is dedicated to community, to centering Black folx and those that are most marginalized.

We had a chance to sit down with Walela to chat more about their work, how they view and practice wellness, their relationship with their partner Akili, and more.
