Maryam Azeeza Muhammad is a 20-year-old student currently enrolled at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania majoring in Journalism and minoring in Africology and African American Studies. Inspired by the works of phenomenal writers such as Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, and bell hooks, Maryam has chosen writing as her medium. For her, it is a spiritual way of paying homage to her ancestors and the African diaspora as a whole. Her work is dedicated to Black women, who for so long have been underappreciated all across the globe. Though she considers herself to be a tree sustaining deep roots, she considers herself to be a generational curse-breaker dedicated to promoting healing, wisdom, honesty, and acceptance in her writing.
