Obsidian Sun is Black brilliance, burden, beauty, and bravery captured in verse. These poems confront the ways society distorts Blackness - how our light is too often dimmed by a skewed lens - yet they also reveal the radiance that has always existed. Light and shadow shape one another, and in that balance, our truth is born.

This collection is more than poetry; it is a series of anthems for self-love, self-protection, and self-care. Each piece serves as a promise to ourselves and a seed of possibility for future generations. These poems don't simply speak-they affirm, uplift, and remind us of who we have always been.

Rooted in truth, protection, grounding, and divination, Obsidian Sun honors the duality of our existence. Obsidian, forged in heat, represents clarity and defense. The sun, the giver of life, represents endurance and illumination. Together, they reflect how we thrive under both the harshest rays and the cloudiest days. We remain. We rise. We create.

We are a constellation of Black stars-collective, luminous, and eternal. Obsidian Sun is not just me, you, him, her, or them... it is all of us, standing in our shadow and our shine, praying to past suns as we blaze new paths of our own.
