ANISAH AMAT IS A WRITER AND A POET. A TEACHER AND A STUDENT. A WORLD TRAVELER. A PARTNER AND A MOTHER. A FRIEND. SHE WAS INTRODUCED TO THE HEALING POWERS OF WRITING AT THE DELICATE AGE OF 13. HER WRITING HAS SERVED AS AN AVENUE TO HER WOUNDED SELF. IT HAS SERVED AS A GATEWAY TO HER HEALING SELF. IT HAS SERVED AS THE DEEPEST MEDITATION TO HER GROUNDED SELF. THROUGH HER WRITING, SHE HAS IDENTIFIED AND RECONCILED WITH HER TRAUMAS. SHE HAS GAINED ACCESS TO LOVE, JOY AND FREEDOM. SHE BELIEVES A PART OF HER PURPOSE IS TO GUIDE WOMEN TO, NOT ONLY RECOGNIZING THE LIGHT WITHIN THEM, BUT TO RECOGNIZE THE POWER WITHIN THEIR VOICE. SHE ENCOURAGES WOMEN THAT IT IS THEIR BIRTH RIGHT TO SPEAK UP AND AGAINST ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT OR HAS NEVER SERVED THEIR HIGHER SELVES. ANISAH RECEIVED HER MFA IN CREATIVE WRITING AND POETICS AT NAROPA UNIVERSITY IN 2017. SHE RESIDES IN DENVER WHERE SHE IS RAISING A BEAUTIFUL BLACK GIRL.
